Named for the endangered black eagle (Aquila verreauxii), Aquila’s story began two decades ago. Owner, Searl Derman, came across a nature reserve in the Western Cape, now known as Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa.
Situated near Touws River in the Southern Karoo, the 10 000 hectare wildlife conservancy is now home to the Big Five – elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard – as well as other wild game.
Aquila offers the opportunity to experience natural flora and fauna by vehicle, quad bike or on horseback. There are also a variety of day trip safari options.
The lucky family of four will stay in a thatched family cottage which has en suite bedrooms, fan, air conditioner and a fireplace. These cottages also have private patios with expansive views. All meals and game drives are included in the prize.
After dinner the winner and family can join the other guests around the fire in the boma while a ranger highlights the magnificent Karoo stars. For more information visit aquilasafari.com
