Aquila Big Five Safari Offers Day Escape from Cape Town into the Wild


Travelers looking to escape the pace of city life can embark on a full-day Big Five safari to Aquila Private Game Reserve, located just two hours from Cape Town. The 10-hour guided experience offers private round-trip transfers, ensuring a comfortable and seamless journey into the heart of South Africa’s wilderness. The excursion provides an accessible yet immersive introduction to the country’s renowned wildlife and natural beauty.


Upon arrival at Aquila, guests set out on a professionally guided safari through the reserve’s expansive landscapes in search of Africa’s iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant. The experience is further enriched by sightings of giraffes, zebras, antelopes, hippos, and other native species, all observed in their natural habitat under the guidance of experienced rangers.


The safari highlights the striking contrast between Cape Town’s urban environment and the raw, untamed beauty of the South African bush. Visitors are given the rare opportunity to experience a fully guided wildlife adventure in a protected reserve, making it an ideal option for first-time safari-goers and seasoned wildlife enthusiasts alike.


For those seeking an added indulgence, the tour offers an optional visit to the Fairview Wine & Cheese Estate, where guests can enjoy tastings of locally produced wines and artisanal cheeses. With entrance fees included and personalized service throughout, the experience delivers a well-rounded blend of adventure, relaxation, and gourmet enjoyment in a single day.

We had a great day with Talent , our tour guide. Wonderful experience and very educational. Great way to start the trip to SA as he taught us a lot of history and geography.

We joined the group tour for table mountain, boulder beach penguins and cape point/cape of good hope. The itinerary seems very exciting.But there were some hiccups on the day. Firstly, the pickup took a very long time despite only having 5 stops (1 hour starting at 720am). When the tour started, we were briefed on the itinerary for the day. Everyone was extremely excited. However, after table mountain, we were told that because of a road closure every Wednesday from 10am, the scenic Chapman’s peak drive was cancelled. A lot of our tour group was very disappointed as this was not told upfront. If not we may have wanted to have a peep of this road prior to table mountain even. Wilson was a great guide/driver. He went out of his way to accommodate everyone. Including stopping in the city for someone to exchange money, stopping by the ATM etc. He allowed us to spend quite a bit of time at each attraction. But in that lies the fact that sometimes we didn’t know when to gather back again and wasted quite a bit of time waiting. Wilson also gave interesting commentaries throughout. The places we visited was really nice. Table mountain, the penguins and the cape of good hope were all famous attractions for a reason. And really worth seeing. Wilson surprised us by dropping by the ostrich farm and got us food to feed. One big downside of the tour is the issue of purchasing tickets prior. I think this should be changed or made more aware. We knew about having to purchase our tickets ahead of time as we read from other reviews and proactively seek the links to buy the tickets. Most of the group did not pre-purchase the tickets and our group ended up splitting at times. What was worse is at the cape of good hope, you can purchase the tickets only once meaning someone from the group had to volunteer to purchase the ticket and everyone else had to then withdraw money to pay him back. I think this could have been avoided with prior warning. Everyone should just pre-buy all your tickets. The company should inform people much ahead of time because it is difficult to do all these whilst traveling with minimal wifi and printing facilities. Most people only know the day before or not even. Other than that, it was an enjoyable day!

Tour with Beyond Africa Safaris - Tale (guide) and Ishmael (driver) began promptly at designated time. Tale was energetic and informative, providing significant insight into the history of Cape Town and South Africa. We maintained the timeline and covered every stop and drive by listed on the Viator page. NOTE: Entrance fees to Seal Island, Table Mountain Funicular and Boulders beach are not included. Tale had a group ticket for Boulders Beach and stated there were technical problems for a credit card payment and directed me to the green ATM at Boulders Beach to get cash for reimbursement to him. Unfortunately there were two men who were trying to scam and take money while I was trying to withdraw funds. Although this was disappointing and made me lose trust, I made the best of it and caution you to be aware of your surroundings and take your guide or someone you trust with you when withdrawing currency at ATMS. Thank you Ishmael for getting us around safely and thank you to Tale for all your insight about the area.
