Itinerary

  1. Pick-up between 8:00 and 8:30 am The scenic drive from Cape Town to AquilaGame Reserve takes you through the tropical fruit-growing area of Ceres. The valley was named after the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility and is renowned for its spectacular beauty and vast fruit plantations. 2-hour game drive After welcome drinks at Inverdoorn, you'll climb onto an open safari vehicle and set off with a professional ranger for a 2-hour safari tour. The 10,000-hectare reserve is home to the Big Five, an array of animals that have adjusted well to the semi-arid conditions of the Little Karoo. Aquila has re-introduced wildlife species to the region after a long absence. This includes many rescued elephants and lions, as well as cheetahs. You'll return to the lodge for a buffet-style lunch and a few hours of relaxation around the swimming pool or strolling through the lush garden.

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
