Initiative is an extension of taxi firm's ‘Go Anywhere’ travel product range

Uber has launched a safari experience in Cape Town, South Africa with customers now able to book wildlife-themed daytrips on the app.

The latest experience in Uber’s ‘Go Anywhere’ series of limited-edition travel products, Uber has partnered with Aquila Private Game Reserve to offer the excursion.

Available to book between 4 October 2024 and 25 January 2025, Uber Safari includes a pickup in Cape Town in an Uber Safari-branded vehicle.

Upon arrival at Aquila, guests will be provided lunch before boarding a traditional safari vehicle with experienced game rangers and field guides in tow.

The game drive gives guests the opportunity to see the Big Five. After the adventure, riders will have access to Aquila’s camp grounds before heading back to Cape Town.

"We’ve designed our ‘Go Anywhere’ series to help our customers book bucket list adventures with the Uber convenience they know and love,” said Frans Hiemstra, Regional General Manager of Uber in the Middle East and Africa.

“With Uber Safari – one of our most wild offerings to date – our technology makes it easier than ever to unlock an epic South African travel experience.”

Every booking through Uber will contribute to conservation efforts that help protect endangered species and ensure the preservation of South Africa’s rich biodiversity.

Johan van Schalkwyk, Commercial Officer of Aquila Collection added: "Uber Safari allows folks to book and enjoy an unforgettable day at Aquila, where they’ll get to experience the Big Five 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."

Reservations for the season can be made on the Uber app now and are bookable 24 hours to 90 days in advance.

Uber Safari will run on Friday and Saturday at a flat fee of US$200 and can accommodate up to four guests.
