The road leaves Cape Town behind and the city’s glass and granite give way to rolling wheatlands and the blunt shoulders of the Klein Karoo. A private transfer to Aquila Private Game Reserve puts you in the passenger seat of a quiet, air-conditioned vehicle with a driver who knows the route and the rhythms of the passes; the ride itself feels like a transition from urban pace to open veld.
