Aquila manages populations of several large mammals, but wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed; your guide maximizes chances by following animal movements and waterholes.
A buffet lunch, welcome drink and bottled water are included; alcoholic beverages at Aquila are at your own expense and Fairview tasting fees depend on the package served.
Infant seats are available and children are welcome, but the tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious spinal or cardiovascular conditions.
Aquila was created as a private reserve to reintroduce large mammals to Karoo farmlands and grow sustainable tourism that supports local communities.
