Aquila is part of a modern private-reserve movement in the Western Cape that reintroduced several species after historic declines; the area also sits along routes used by colonial-era farmers and winemakers.
The reserve operates as a managed wildlife area balancing tourism revenue with species protection; visitors are asked to minimize noise, avoid littering and follow ranger protocols to reduce disturbance.
