Uber Launches “Uber Safari” Experience in South Africa

Uber has launched a new experience called Uber Safari in Cape Town, South Africa, where riders can book Safari experiences in the city.

The new feature is part of Uber’s limited edition experience in their ‘Go Anywhere’ series of travel products.

Details

The new experience will be available in the Uber app from October 2nd through the end of January 2025.

The experience is done in partnership with Aquila Private Game Reserve, one of South Africa’s most popular wildlife conservancies.

It will include a pickup in Cape Town in an Uber Safari-branded vehicle. Upon arrival at Aquila, riders will enjoy a welcome toast and lunch before boarding a traditional safari vehicle with experienced game rangers and field guides.

What They’re Saying

“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 2, and will be bookable 90 days to 24 hours in advance. Uber Safari will run on Fridays and Saturdays until the end of January.

The experience will cost a $200 flat fee and can accommodate up to four guests.
