Situated a mere two hours from Cape Town, Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa is a Big Five safari destination that has been a traveller, local, and family favourite for many years. This 10,000-hectare conservancy is home to the Big Five – elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – as well as a significant amount of other wild game, which roam freely on the reserve.
A typical day spent at Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa as an overnight guest will include heading out on a guided Big Five game drive and returning for a hearty breakfast buffet. Guests are then invited to explore additional experiences, such as spa treatments, quad or horseback safaris, and signing kids up for the Junior Ranger programme. You’ll find most guests cooling off in their sparkling cerulean blue pools and enjoying spa treatments in their 10-room, world-class Tranquila Spa.
While enjoying the Junior Ranger Programme, children will learn and discover new experiences and have unforgettable moments in the bush. The programme will stimulate their young minds and introduce them to some simple conservation practices:
- Spoor, animal, and plant identification
- Trees, and how much animals use them
- Learning about rock paintings
- Conservation and insights into Aquila’s wildlife
Then there’s lunch, with more time available for enjoying Aquila’s facilities until the late afternoon game drive or for simply reading a book. Guests then typically ready themselves for dinner, best finished off with drinks in the bar upstairs, nestled next to a fire. Their spa is open until late, affording guests plenty of opportunity to relax after a treatment and enjoy the indoor heated pool, sauna, and steam room, before retiring to their room.
