Uber launches Cape Town safari experience
Uber is launching a wildlife safari experience for visitors in Cape Town, South Africa.
The latest experience in Uber’s ‘Go Anywhere’ series of travel products, Uber Safari will be available throughout high season.
Available exclusively in the Uber app, the African safari adventure is a day trip option for travellers in Cape Town and looking to see the big five.
In partnership with Aquila Private Game Reserve, travellers can book an affordable African safari.
“We’re excited to partner with Uber to extend our bucket list wildlife experiences to their customers,” said Johan van Schalkwyk, Commercial Officer of Aquila Collection.
“Uber Safari gives an unforgettable day at Aquila, where they’ll get to experience the Big 5 in an easy and luxurious way.”
The full day trip includes a pickup in Cape Town in an Uber Safari-branded vehicle.
Upon arrival, guests will enjoy breakfast and a welcome toast before boarding a traditional safari vehicle with experienced game rangers and field guides.
During the game drive, guides will have the opportunity to see the big five – lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos.
Riders will have lunch with access to Aquilla’s grounds before heading back to Cape Town.
“With Uber Safari, we’re making it easier than ever to unlock an iconic South Africa’s wildlife experience,” said Frans Hiemstra, Regional GM of Uber in the Middle East and Africa.
Reservations for the season will become available in the Uber app on October 2, and will be bookable 24 hours to 90 days in advance.
The Uber Safari will run on Fridays and Saturdays until February 1, for a $200 flat fee, and can accommodate up to four guests.
