Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa provides so much more than just an unforgettable wildlife experience

Aquila Private Game Reserve &
Spa is a 4-star family-friendly
safari destination just two hours’
drive from Cape Town. The
10 000-hectare conservancy, situated
between the Langeberg and Outeniqua
Mountains in the southern Karoo, is home
to the majestic Big 5 legends: elephant,
lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino.
Accommodation is offered in bush-style
cottages (premier, luxury or standard) built
right into the hillside with outdoor rock
showers, and modern lodge rooms with
panoramic vistas over the reserve. There
are options for two people as well as
families of four, six or eight, and the reserve
also welcomes visitors for morning or
afternoon day trips.
Guests can take a game drive on either a
traditional safari vehicle, on horseback or on
quad bike—each providing unique
personal encounters with the wildlife at the
reserve. A private safari with proudly South
African–style snacks and bubbly can also be
arranged for intimate gatherings in the veld.
The reserve has a 35-metre long
crystal-clear swimming pool with a bar
serving cocktails and ice-cold beverages
for poolside socials. There are large dining
areas and an African-style buffet restaurant
for a taste of local cuisine, as well as the
cosy cigar bar and lounge for a relaxing
evening. A library and curio shop will sate
enquiring minds.
Children are well catered for as well,
with an entertainment area (jungle gyms
and mini golf, among others) and
horseback rides.
The night-time fire pit entices guests to
a memorable gathering under the Karoo
stars, complete with a marshmallow braai
and a ‘tour’ of the Milky Way facilitated by a
star safari guide.
The Aquila Spa is the latest addition to the
world-class facilities and services on offer at
the reserve. Whether you choose the heated
indoor pool, outdoor pool, sauna, steam
room or one of the 10 treatment rooms,
you’re sure to enjoy a luxurious African
pampering and unwind after an actionpacked
day. A group or couples room will
add to the special serenity of the spa and its
creative use of natural elements.
Aquila is so much more than just an
unforgettable wildlife experience—it’s a
luxurious African adventure that will make
memories to last a lifetime.
