Trade the city buzz for rolling vineyards, open landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters - just a few hours from Cape Town.

What you'll see and do
Spice Route Destination
Start with a morning pick-up from Cape Town before heading into the Cape Winelands. After a ±1hour scenic drive, arrive at Spice Route Destination - this historic farm dates back to 1693 and was originally named Leeuwenjagt. The heritage of Spice Route Destination is inspired by the historic mariners who traded Eastern spices to Europe along the legendary Spice Route during the 15th century. Here your included Taste Explorer Voucher unlocks a relaxed, self-guided tasting adventure. Designed especially for travellers with limited time, this experience offers a generous variety of tastings, including non-alcoholic options. Choose your own journey of 'tasting' discovery on arrival : Alcoholic tastings include wine, craft beer, spirits and perry cider, while non-alcoholic delights range from artisanal ice-cream, chocolate, charcuterie and vegetarian bites. Lunch at leisure for your own account at Spice Route, with a few local bistro-style restaurants.

As the afternoon unfolds, travel inland to the Karoo and arrive at Aquila Game Reserve just in time for a memorable 2 to 3-hour sunset 4x4 safari led by an experienced ranger. Explore the 10,000-hectare conservancy between the Langeberg and Outeniqua Mountains, home to most of South Africa's iconic Big Five: elephant, lion, buffalo and rhino.* As the sun sets over the Karoo, wildlife becomes more active, creating excellent opportunities to spot animals and capture incredible photographs. Along the way, your ranger will share fascinating insights into the reserve's wildlife, conservation efforts and unique ecosystem. Aquila offers one of the Western Cape's most accessible safari experiences - perfect for travellers who don't have enough time to visit Kruger National Park or the Garden Route. After your game drive, enjoy the scenic return journey to Cape Town, arriving in the city long after sunset (±9pm). *Leopards are highly elusive and rarely seen, and lions kept in smaller camps.

Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland cost?
+
Prices start at $235 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 Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland?
+
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 Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland?
+
Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland 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 Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. 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.
What is included in Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland?
+
Included: Aquila Sunset 4x4 Safari; Hotel pickup within 5km of city or central meeting point; Spice Route Tasting Explorer Voucher; Donation to 2Cchange charity projects (as % of your tour fee); and Local English-speaking professional tour guide. Not included: Meals + Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 231 listed pickup locations in and around Cape Town. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Sip and Safari Adventure Aquila Game Drive Spice Route Wineland if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cape Town. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
