This exclusive flight is private and offers breathtaking views en route, including mountain ranges, vineyards, and open Karoo landscapes. It is the perfect way to elevate your day safari experience with comfort and style aboard one of our state-of-the-art Airbus helicopters.
Upon arrival, guests enjoy a full-day safari experience at Aquila, which includes a welcome drink, buffet lunch, and a 2 to 3-hour guided game drive in an open safari vehicle. The reserve is committed not only to showcasing South Africa’s rich wildlife, but also to conservation and education, making it far more than just another game lodge.
