A half-day Big Five game drive less than two hours from the city — an open-vehicle safari through the malaria-free Karoo at Aquila Private Game Reserve.
Experience the thrill of an African safari while staying in the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, world-class vineyards, and pristine coastlines, Cape Town also offers access to exceptional private game reserves where visitors can encounter Africa's iconic wildlife.
This half-day trip gives you the chance to see the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — in spectacular natural settings. Expert rangers lead open-vehicle game drives through the Karoo, sharing fascinating insights into the region's wildlife, conservation efforts, and ecosystems.
Built for the perfect blend of adventure and comfort, the day pairs unforgettable wildlife encounters with hotel transfers, welcome drinks, and a relaxed buffet lunch — warm South African hospitality from pick-up to drop-off, and a genuine taste of the African bush before you head back to Cape Town.
