Uber has announced the launch of uber Safari in South Africa to offer riders access to Africa’s most iconic experiences. The service is currently available in Cape Town only.
Uber Safari can be accessed through the Uber app and has been created in partnership with Aquila Private Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s most popular wildlife conservancies.
“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 allows folks to book and enjoy an unforgettable day at Aquila, where they’ll get to experience the Big 5 in an easy and luxurious way. It’s the perfect combination of modern convenience and natural beauty, all while supporting wildlife conservation efforts that are vital to preserving South Africa’s biodiversity.”
How to Book Uber Safari
Booking is easy and seamless through the Uber app:
- Open the app then select ‘Uber Safari’.
- Read about Uber Safari and then choose an available date.
- Enter your pickup and drop off locations.
- Confirm the details are correct and click ‘Reserve Uber Safari.
- If your trip is confirmed, you’ll receive an email letting you know.
The trip will include a pickup in Cape Town in an Uber Safari-branded vehicle to Aquila. You will then be transferred to traditional safari vehicles with experienced game rangers and field guides. During the game drive, guides will ensure guests have the best opportunity to see the big five. And after the adventure, riders will have access to Aquila’s picturesque grounds before heading back to Cape Town.
Availability of Uber Safari trips is expected to be limited. Riders looking to book a tour are encouraged to book in advance using our Reserve technology. Uber Safari will be visible to all riders in South Africa.
