Aquila after lunch
Trade the city for the Karoo on a half-day afternoon safari at Aquila Game Reserve. Welcome drinks and snacks lead into a buffet lunch, followed by a traditional guided game drive and a relaxed pause before the return to Cape Town. A structured Big Five reserve experience balances guided wildlife viewing with downtime.
Sharing and solo prices
US$280 per person sharing for two or more guests. One guest may book by paying double: US$560 solo. Two adults pay US$560 in total.
Cape Town travel arrangements
Return Cape Town transfers are included. Your pickup arrangements are confirmed before travel to allow arrival for the noon welcome. Allow road travel time in addition to the half-day programme at the reserve.

13:15 — Traditional game drive from Pick Up Point B
Meet at Pick Up Point B for your guided traditional game drive through Aquila’s Big Five reserve. Look for wildlife across the Karoo landscape; sightings and the route depend on conditions and are not guaranteed.
15:00 — Time at leisure
Return to the reserve facilities and take time to unwind after the guided safari. Optional activities and personal purchases are not included.
16:30 — Depart for Cape Town
Depart Aquila Game Reserve on the return journey to Cape Town. 16:30 is your departure from the reserve, not your arrival in the city.
Safari arrangements
The schedule may vary with reserve conditions. Follow your guide’s wildlife safety instructions. This is a traditional game drive, not a quadbike or horseback safari, and Big Five sightings are never guaranteed.
