Sabi Sands Game Reserve - The best place in the world
for a safari
SAFARI LIFE EXPERIENCES
Can you envision yourself in an open safari
jeep surrounded by buffalo… herds so huge
they appear as an undulating sea of brown
and black. Giraffe loping in ghostly silence
across a yellow-flecked savanna.
Lions patrolling at sundown. Hyenas nervous,
laughing… darting in an out of the full moon
shadows.
The Sabi Sands Game Reserve will be a
perfect safari vacation.
It is situated in the southwestern corner of
the world-renowned Kruger National Park in
South Africa and consists of 65 000 hectares
(160 620 acres). It is the most prestigious
game reserve in South Africa and is famous
for incredible leopard and lion sightings.
With one of the richest game populations in
the country, the chances of seeing the Big
Five are excellent.
Even though there is a 50-kilometre unfenced
boundary with the Kruger National Park,
wildlife in the Sabi Sands Reserve is well
habituated resulting in extraordinary close
encounters and prolific sightings,
particularly of the elusive leopard. The
reserve offers the best collection of luxury
5 Star Safari Lodges, ensuring an unbeatable
Safari experience. Visit Sabi sands Game

AQUILA
CREATES BIG 5 RESERVE IN SOUTH
AFRICA
 Cape
Town, South Africa. The 4-star Aquila
Private Game Reserve has relocated two
bull elephants at a total cost of R2
million, in order to grow the reserve from
Big 4 to Big 5 territory, therefore making
Aquila the closest authentic Big 5 safari
to Cape Town.
The
elephants, aged between nine and eleven
were purchased and relocated from Tzaneen
in the Lowveld and transported in a
specially designed game vehicle to the 4,
500 hectare private reserve accompanied
by qualified and experienced elephant
game capture specialists.
Owner
Searl Derman has invested R1 million on
the temporary one-hectare boma which took
six months to build to ensure every
comfort and requirement was met and
approved in order to ensure a safe
transition to their new home where they
will be closely monitored on a 24 hour
basis.
States
Derman, "I'm proud to have finally created
the closest authentic Big 5 African safari
within a daytrip range of Cape Town. The
benefit(s) to the Western Cape's tourism
infrastructure, Touwsrivier's job
creation and social upliftment as well as
conservation of animals and habitat
are unparalleled."
Once
again, Aquila has practised job creation
by training local staff by South Africa's
leading trainers such as Vicky Broeker and
Lisette Withers. Derman is the only person
in the Western Cape that has done an
elephant capture course and was also part
of the ground breaking team which included
Douw Grobbelaar - a world authority - and
the Disney Land Vets, when they sterilised
2 female elephants in
KZN.
Aquila
is very proud to be the only Reserve in
the Western Cape to have reintroduced
lion, rhino, buffalo, Cape mountain
leopard and now finally the elephant
to complete Cape Town's BIG 5
experience. Having the Big 5 in the
Western Cape will ensure that visitors to
our region spend more time in the area and
are no longer forced to risk malaria,
incur high travel costs and extra
travelling time going north for their
safari experience.
Aquila
is already home to a large quantity and
variety of game in the Western Cape which
includes lion, buffalo, rhino, rare
mountain leopard, giraffe, hippo
and large herds of black wildebeest,
burchell's zebra, springbok, gemsbok,
eland, red hartebeest, steenbok,
blesbok, ostriches, klip springer, duiker,
greybuck, baboon, black backed
jackal, caracal
(lynx) and bat eared
fox. Aquila is also home to a wide
array of bird species that have made the
wetlands their home and ancient Khoi San
Rock Art can be visited on game
drives.
Notes:
Big
5 territory, making Aquila the closest
authentic Big 5 safari to Cape
Town.
