Game Drive

Aquila’s traditional vehicle safaris are led by experienced game rangers and field guides, ensuring guests have the best opportunity to see the reserve’s natural wildlife. Step into open safari vehicles designed for optimal viewing and photography opportunities. Traverse the vast plains, home to Africa’s Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos — as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and an array of bird species. Each moment on safari promises a glimpse into the untamed rhythms of nature, with expert guides sharing their deep knowledge of the animals and ecosystems. Your safari guide will take you through Aquila’s 10 000 hectare reserve, sharing inside stories and facts about the unique Karoo fauna and flora.

Welcome drinks, buffet breakfast and lunch, a 2 to 3 hour traditional safari game drive, and a complimentary Eco Synergy Tour. Don’t forget to pack your swimming costume, sunblock and hat, as guests are invited to enjoy Aquila’s outdoor infinity pool during the safari leisure time.
