Baroness Margeret Thatcher visits Aquila
She may not be classified as one of Africa’s Big Five, but formidable former British prime minister, Baroness Margaret Thatcher, certainly provided a rare and exciting sighting this week, for the day and overnight visitors who went on safari outside Cape Town.
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.
Due to the last few days of torrential rain in the area, the 4-star Aquila Private Game Reserve has had to temporarily close for five days as a majority of staff living in the flooded town of Touwsriver are unable to cross the N1 national highway and are frantically trying to save their own homes from flood damage.
