Cape Town: Full-Day Guided Safari + Roundtrip Transfer + Lunch Tickets

Cape Town Full-Day Safari with Big Five Game Drive

This Cape Town safari takes you to a private 10,000-hectare game reserve where you can spot Africa's famous Big Five in their natural habitat. Your day starts with hotel pickup in Cape Town, followed by a scenic drive to the reserve where you'll enjoy a buffet lunch before your 2-3 hour game drive. Experienced rangers guide you through mountainous terrain and scenic valleys, giving you the best chances to see lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants and Cape buffalo.

The reserve houses more than just the Big Five. You'll also encounter giraffes, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, ostriches, springbok and various antelope species. Bird enthusiasts can look out for some of the 172 bird species that call this reserve home, including the rare Black Eagles that breed in the wetland areas. Your knowledgeable guides share insights about animal behaviour and conservation throughout the drive, making this an educational experience as well as an exciting one.

This safari pairs perfectly with other Cape Town adventures. If you're planning multiple days of exploration, consider the Cape Town helicopter tour for aerial views of the coastline, or venture further with a wine tour through Stellenbosch to experience the region's world-renowned vineyards.

Good to Know

The full safari experience lasts approximately 10 hours including transfers. Hotel pickup times vary depending on your accommodation location in Cape Town. The game drive covers mountainous terrain, so wear comfortable closed shoes and bring layers as temperatures can change throughout the day.

Pack sun protection including a hat and sunscreen, as you'll be in open vehicles during the game drive. Don't forget your camera and binoculars for optimal wildlife viewing. While lunch is included, bring extra money if you want to purchase drinks at the reserve. The tour operates in all weather conditions, so check the forecast and dress appropriately.

This safari offers an accessible way to experience African wildlife without venturing too far from Cape Town, making it ideal for those with limited time who want to tick wildlife viewing off their South Africa itinerary alongside other Table Mountain experiences.
