One Day Safari from Cape Town

One Day Safari Tours From Cape Town, South Africa

Leave Table Mountain in your rearview mirror and escape the city for a one day safari from Cape Town, South Africa. Located only 2 hours from the city (90 minutes), this isn’t just a day trip safari tour, it’s a journey into the untamed wilderness of the Karoo, at the Western Cape’s top rated Big Five game reserve. So, grab your camera and venture past the iconic Cape Winelands, to where lions roar and hippos bask in watering holes, to Aquila Private Game Reserve and Spa, where the Big Five (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalo) roam free.
