A Big 5 Safari offers a fantastic opportunity to see the Big 5 and experience the beauty of the African bush. Please note that the entrance ticket to the reserve is not included in the tour price.

    Shine The Way Tours delivered an amazing experience on the Morning Big 5 Safari at Aquila, followed by a relaxing wine-tasting stop. The pickup was smooth, the staff were friendly, and the safari guide made the wildlife viewing exciting and informative. We spotted several Big 5 animals and enjoyed beautiful scenery throughout the tour. The wine-tasting afterwards was a perfect way to wind down, with great wines in a peaceful setting. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a well-organized, memorable mix of adventure and relaxation around Cape Town.
