An Amazing Aquila Big 5 Safari with Alex
On day 4 of our visit to Cape Town, South Africa, my wife and I traveled to Aquila Big 5 Safaris. Our guide for the day was Alex with Soleil Levant tours. Alex, was unquestionably an excellent guide and source of information for us on this 2 hour trip up to Aquila. The information and conversation he shared from Cape Town to the reserve made this truly an enjoyable ride through miles of beautiful Vineyards and Magnificent mountains. We gained insightful knowledge about the history of Cape Town and the areas we were traveling. Upon our arrival, Alex ensured that all details and accommodations for our day were handled with timely and professional care. He truly made this tour one of the memorable and impactful tours of our vacation. My wife and I highly recommend Alex with Soleil levant tours as your tour guide when visiting Cape Town.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much indeed for your support and i really appreciate your review

Safari and Wine Tasting Package A Must!
Alex, our personal tour guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable from start to finish! He showed patience and consideration throughout our experience. I highly recommend this excursion as we were extremely satisfied with this particular package. If you are lucky to have Alex as your tour guide, then you will be in great hands!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much indeed for your support and i really appreciate your review

Great tour, but breakfast was not included as was listed in the description!
Would have given 5 stars if breakfast were provided as was expected, description listed breakfast as an inclusion. Ended up having to buy breakfast at the first wine stop on my own dime. It would have been fine if it was not specified in the tour description that breakfast wasn't included. We had breakfast included at the hotel, but chose not to eat because the tour description specified breakfast, so this was the biggest disappoint. Rest of the tour was fantastic once I was no longer hangry. Saw several animals, guides at the reserve were informative and great at spotting things the rest of us would not be able to catch. Wine tours were satisfactory.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much indeed for your support and i really appreciate your review

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $5850 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All inclusive Big 5 Aquila Safari Game Drive and Wine Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
