★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 350 reviews · 9 hours · from $167

A full day from Cape Town to Aquila Private Game Reserve for a sunset open-4x4 safari, snacks, pool time, and a shot at the Big Five.

“It was a very nice sunset game drive! We had a very good guide who explained a lot about the animals. I would always recommend to take the sunset drive because there is a very good chance to see a lot of animals (we saw 4/5 big 5‘s and from a very very close distance right next to the vehicle). We only had a little time at the reserve for using the pool and having lunch though, but the nice safari tour made that up!”

Big Five safari at Aquila Reserve plus Fairview wine and cheese lunch from Cape Town, with hotel pickup and a full 10-hour day.

“We started the day being picked up, but there was another passenger in the car who stayed with us for the entire day. So the 'private' tour was not private at all. At the park we paid for our entrence fee, which alao included paying for the lunch buffet. Which means the costs of this activity in fact do NOT cover lunch.

We regret not driving to aquila ourselves, which…”
