FULL DAY COMBO SAFARI – AQUILA GAME RESERVE

The Aquila Combo Safari is the ultimate Cape Town day trip by combining a Big 5 game drive with an adventurous quad bike outride or a horseback safari. Set in a 10,000-hectare private game reserve just two hours from Cape Town, this full-day experience blends traditional safari exploration with a thrilling ground-level adventure.

Start your day with welcome drinks and a buffet breakfast before heading out on a 2-3 hour 4×4 game drive, where you’ll track lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and more. After a hearty buffet lunch, choose your adventure:

• Quad Bike Safari (250cc) – a 1.5-hour ride through rugged Karoo terrain with expert guides.
• Horseback Safari – a 1.5-hour guided ride across the plains, perfect for spotting wildlife at a slower pace.

Afterwards, enjoy leisure time to relax, swim, or soak in the Karoo views before returning to Cape Town. Perfect for couples, families with older teens, and adventure lovers looking for more than just a game drive.
