Uber is offering a full-day experience of wildlife, landscapes and food with their new Uber Safari option which is available for bookings from tomorrow exclusively on the app.
The new offering will take customers straight from their desired pick-up location in Cape Town to their partners, Aquila Private Game Reserve, just a few hours outside of the Mother City, as it is known.
At a flat rate of $200 (£150), riders can go solo or include up to three of their friends to come along for the adventure. It starts with a pick up in Cape Town in a uniquely branded Uber Safari vehicle for the two hour drive to Aquila, where riders can enjoy breakfast and a welcome toast before boarding their game drive vehicle.

Followed by a lunch and some free time to explore Aquila before returning to Cape Town.
