Aquila was converted from agricultural land into a private game reserve to promote conservation tourism and reintroduce native and relocated species into Western Cape landscapes.
Conservation
Guides keep quad speeds low and on designated tracks to reduce disturbance; visitors are asked to carry out waste and follow guide instructions to protect sensitive fynbos habitats.
