The owner of Aquila, driven by a desire to share his love of the wild with Cape Town, set about searching for the perfect piece of land to re-introduce the big 5 to the Western Cape. He was fortunate enough to come across a nature reserve that would suit his purpose.
Rescue,Rehabilitation & Release
The nature and location of Aquila has meant that Aquila has and always will be contacted if there is an animal in need. Aquila, through ARC will continue to provide whatever shelter and care is needed by these animals.
Aquila has invested over R1million building a large outdoor sanctuary comprising of several 1 hectare fenced camps where once doomed “canned lions” can live out the remainder of their lives. ARC is also home to a rescued leopard and a cheetah breeding pair (part of a cheetah breeding programme).
