Natural Places to Visit

Cape Town thrives in the center of an incredibly diverse ecosystem. A safari bus trip through the Aquila Game Reserve is your opportunity to be on the lookout for African elephants, Cape buffalo and endangered snow leopards. Hiking through Table Mountain National Park lifts you out of the city and into the company of zebras, baboons and more than 250 species of birds. The incredible Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, like Cape Town itself, is a world-class destination for nature lovers.

Thrills to Experience 

If you crave heart-stopping action, Cape Town delivers with tours that take you where the Great Whites swim. Spend a day cage diving with the sharks off the coast, and you'll leave with a lifetime of memories and stories to tell. If you'd rather not swim with the fish, enjoy them from the shore. Cape Town is one of the few areas in the world that offers spectacular whale watching from land, and boating excursions provide an even closer view. 

There are so many fascinating tours of Cape Town and its lush surroundings, and they're all as unique as the South African setting. From the exceptional wineries in the countryside to the jazz and reggae festivals in the city, treat yourself to the tours less travelled, and discover your own exciting adventures.
 
 
For the past number of years a small but vibrant safari industry has grown up near Cape Town.
Three Game Reserves in particular have been making their mark in this market - Aquila Private Game Reserve, Inverdoorn and Fairy Glen have been offering day safaris to visitors to Cape Town a glimpse of the African Big 5 for some years now.
The Safari market has been dominated by the northern parks (Kruger etc) for many years now and in recent years we have seen the growth of the Eastern Cape Safari Reserves surrounding the Addo Elephant Park
Make no mistake these Reserves deserve all the accolades the have gathered over the years. The local Safari Reserves have found a niche here in the Cape Town area servicing those visitors who may not have the time or desire to travel on safari, but wish to experience a day seeing the wild of Africa.
On this site we use Aquila Private Game Reserve as host for our Cape Town Day Safari the itinerary can be found here
