Overview
This ten-hour day trip from Cape Town crosses the Du Toitskloof to Aquila Private Game Reserve in the Breede River Valley, the closest Big Five reserve to the city. Born in Africa Tours provides the guiding and transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, with a wine tasting stop at Du Toitskloof Wines on the outbound leg and a buffet lunch with a glass of sparkling wine at the reserve before the guided game drive. The tour price covers the Aquila game park charge, which takes in both the buffet lunch and the guided game drive, so there is nothing further to settle at the reserve beyond drinks and gratuities. Groups are capped at 20 travellers and a private safari vehicle upgrade is available on site. Rates were checked in September 2026 and are subject to change.Highlights
