Cape Town: Small-Group Aquila Safari Tour with Wine Tasting

About this experience

Cape Town Small-Group Aquila Safari and Wine Estate Tour This full-day small-group tour combines two of South Africa's greatest attractions: a Big 5 safari at Aquila Private Game Reserve and a guided tasting visit to a renowned Cape wine estate. Your expert guide accompanies you throughout the day, from a comfortable hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle to the final drop-off. At Aquila Private Game Reserve, you board open 4x4 safari vehicles for a two to three hour game drive across the reserve. Your guide shares insights about local ecosystems, animal tracking and conservation efforts whilst you search for the Big 5, lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalos. The reserve is also home to zebras, antelope and numerous bird species. After a hearty buffet lunch at the main lodge, the tour continues to a celebrated Cape wine estate where your guide leads a curated tasting session. Local wines are served on site by the estate host, paired with a selection of local cheeses. This combination of wildlife encounters and South African viticulture makes for a comprehensive Western Cape experience.
