Directions to Aquila Private Game Reserve

Visit the malaria-free four star game reserve only two hours from Cape Town

Take the N1 from Cape Town. You will pass Worcester and about 10km before Touwsriver turn left onto the R46 to Ceres.

The entrance is

Aquila Private Game Reserve is situated along the Karoo Mountains in a unique Renosterveld and Mountain Fynbos landscape with the countryside a kaleidoscope of breathtaking colours in different ranges of orange, green, brown and gold.
