Aquila Day Safari
Experience a Big 5 Safari from Cape Town
Price: R4,300 per person
Experience a Big 5 safari from Cape Town with a full-day visit to Aquila Private Game Reserve. Located just over two hours from Cape Town, Aquila offers the opportunity to experience South African wildlife and the Karoo landscape without the need for an overnight stay.
Your day begins with collection in Cape Town and a scenic journey through the Western Cape towards Aquila Private Game Reserve. Your return transfer between Cape Town and the reserve is included in your Adventure Tours Africa experience.
On arrival at Aquila, enjoy welcome drinks and a buffet breakfast before your traditional safari begins.
Your 2–3 hour game drive takes place in an open safari vehicle with an experienced Aquila ranger. The reserve is home to the Big 5 — lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard — as well as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hippo, antelope and other wildlife. These are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed, and every game drive is different.
After your game drive, enjoy a buffet lunch followed by leisure time at the reserve. Your Aquila experience also includes the Eco Synergy Tour and access to the pool, giving you time to relax and take in the surrounding Karoo landscape before departing for Cape Town.
Throughout your journey between Cape Town and Aquila, your qualified local tourist guide will make the day relaxed, informative and well organised. For couples, families, first-time safari guests or travellers with limited time in Cape Town, an Aquila day safari offers a convenient way to experience South African wildlife without an overnight stay.
