Uber is now offering a ‘Safari’ option for customers in Cape Town as part of its ‘Go Anywhere’ limited-edition travel products.

Uber Safari will be exclusively available on the company’s app from October 1 to February 1, offering people in Cape Town a day trip to look to see the big five (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos).

Uber has partnered with Aquila Private Game Reserve, one of the country’s most famous wildlife conservancies, which is about two hours from the City.

“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 wildest offerings to date – our Reserve technology makes it easier than ever to unlock an epic South African travel experience.”

The full-day trip includes a pickup in Cape Town in an Uber Safari-branded vehicle.

Upon arrival at Aquila, guests will receive a welcome toast and lunch before boarding a traditional safari vehicle that has experienced game rangers and field guides.

Uber said that guides will ensure guests have the best opportunity to see the big five.

After the game drive, riders will have access to Aquila’s picturesque grounds before returning to Cape Town.

“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.”

Reservations for the season will become available in the Uber app on October 1 and can be booked 24 hours to 90 days in advance.

Uber Safari will run on Fridays and Saturdays until February 1, and it costs a $200 (roughly R3,500, N334,000) flat fee. It can accommodate up to four guests.

With the availability of trips expected to be limited, riders are encouraged to book in advance.

Tomorrow you will say you are not trying to make money off nairaland.

WannaHowzit:


And how's that done? Give me tips 😝

Sepukku:


You want me to educate you on making money like those township rats that don't know how to dominate their own township economies.

I can't empower the enemy.

WannaHowzit:


Empower yourself first by learning the meaning of sarcasm.

Sepukku:


Come now, you weren't being facetious in anyway, more of a mockery in my opinion.

WannaHowzit:


You mean after hundreds of frontpage threads I wouldn't know how to monetize that - and instead ask you with your 2 dead threads how it's done? You think very highly of yourself neh👎🏾😂😂😂

Sepukku:


You are projecting. I am not a product of bantu education so I can only estimate your intelligence level based on that antecedence, neh!

Ps. All you need do is run a search on nairaland and Morpheus's thread antecedence will be revealed.

WannaHowzit:


See ego failing its master 👎🏾😂😂😂 So you finally admit you're Morpheus101 and blew your cover? Talk about bantu education. Mods, come see something o 😂😂😂😂

Sepukku:


Seppuku has always been Morpheus24 and Morphues 101

it doesn't matter what shell I assume.

What matters is that the Matrix has you.

Free your mind!

WannaHowzit:


You have derailed my thread enough, do you have something to say about Uber Safari or forever hold your peace.

WannaHowzit:


And how's that done? Give me tips 😝
