Aquila Big 5 Safari Full Day Tour

Cape Town

Activity Description

Escape the city and experience a Big 5 safari adventure on this full-day Aquila Private Game Reserve tour from Cape Town.

Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your Cape Town accommodation, followed by a scenic 2-hour drive through the Western Cape countryside to Aquila Private Game Reserve.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with refreshments before departing on a guided open-vehicle game drive led by an experienced ranger. The reserve is home to Africa’s iconic Big Five — lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard — as well as giraffe, zebra, hippo, and various antelope species.

The safari takes place in a traditional open 4×4 vehicle, allowing excellent wildlife viewing and photography opportunities while your guide shares insights into animal behavior, conservation, and the ecosystem of the Karoo region.

Guests will enjoy a buffet lunch at the lodge, offering a variety of local and international dishes in a relaxed setting.

After the safari experience and time to unwind at the lodge, guests return to Cape Town in the late afternoon.

This tour is ideal for travellers seeking a malaria-free safari experience within easy reach of Cape Town.
