Cape Town & Safari

This eight-night Cape Town and Safari adventure perfectly combines vibrant city life with a wildlife experience at a private game reserve.

Cape Town is a mixture of cultures, cuisines, and landscapes and is packed to the brim with many famous sights and attractions. Ride the cable car to the top of Table Mountain and take a boat trip to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Admire the flora and fauna at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens or enjoy a spot of culture at The Heart of Cape Town Museum, Iziko Museums of South Africa, and Zeitz MOCAA. No trip to Cape Town would be complete without enjoying a platter of fresh seafood by the Victoria and Albert Waterfront and driving to the penguin colony at Boulders Beach in Simon's Town and onwards to Cape Point.

Aquila Private Game Reserve on the outskirts of Cape Town is more than just an unforgettable wildlife experience; it's an experience in luxurious African hospitality, traditional culinary delights, service excellence, and the restoration of pride to the indigenous people and the land. Your three-night stay is also your chance to get up close to the Big-Five animals in their natural habitat - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo - on early morning, afternoon, and sunset game drives and you can even up the tempo and explore by quad bike or on horseback.
