Overview
Taste the Original is an immersive walking and tasting tour that delves into the heart of a working wine farm, exploring the heritage behind South Africa's proud Pinotage varietal. It's a rustic and authentic journey, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the history and innovation of Dekkersvlei – home to the world’s first white Pinotage. A Big Five Sunset Safari Tour is the perfect Mother City escape after a morning of Cape Town views and activities. After a hot day in the Karoo veld, the animals are just starting to stir, moving towards the watering holes and coming out of the shade.
Aquila’s traditional vehicle safaris are led by experienced game rangers and field guides, ensuring guests have the best opportunity to see South Africa’s iconic Big Five animals and other native wildlife species. Your safari guide will take you through Aquila’s 10 000 hectare wildlife reserve, sharing inside stories and facts about the natural Karoo environment.
