Big Five Day Safari

Short on time? Meet the Big Five on a private day safari at Aquila, about two and a half hours from Cape Town.

This thrilling safari excursion will take you on a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Meet Africa’s legendary ‘big five,’ which include the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo. Capture intimate moments with the ‘King of the Beasts,’ the African lion, as he roams the vast plains freely.

Admire the elephant, the world’s largest and heaviest land animal, as it marches by in herds under the leadership of a matriarchal leader. If you are fortunate enough to observe these magnificent animals drinking, playing, and swimming in a waterhole, consider yourself among the fortunate few; it will immediately become your favorite safari memory.
