You will make your own way to the meeting points
Please provide a cellphone number for WhatsApp (include country code) or an email address so that we can send you a booking confirmation number. Without this confirmation number, it may be difficult to enter the reserve. Note that this is a self-drive Safari option and clients are responsible for arranging their own transfers to and from Aquila Private Game Reserve for their own account. Please allow approximately 2-hours driving time between Cape Town and Aquila Private Game Reserve. Please arrive at Aquila on or before 07:00 am. In South Africa, private game reserves like Aquila have a restriction as to the number of animals they can keep and can therefore not be compared to National Parks, which have no restriction as to the number of animals in the Park. This Safari is nature dependent and we cannot guarantee that visitors will see all the animals on the day of their safari.
