Activities
Walking Safaris
Walking safaris are where all your senses are heightened and you can see, hear, smell and feel the bush.
Game Drives
Night drives typically begin as an extension of the afternoon game drive or walking safari. As dusk falls, you'll stop to watch the sunset before setting off to discover the nocturnal wildlife. This is the prime time to encounter genets, civets, elephant shrews, porcupines, and fierce honey badgers.
Large predators, except wild dogs, are also more active after dark, enhancing your chances of thrilling sightings. Birdwatching at night is equally rewarding, with an abundance of nightjars, owls, dikkops, bat hawks, and coursers.
Star Gazing
The African night sky, free from light pollution, offers a breathtaking backdrop. The brilliance of the Milky Way and constellations like the Southern Cross, Orion, and Scorpio add to the unforgettable experience. The distant calls of lions, cicadas, and tree frogs under the crescent moon create lasting memories of the African wilderness.

Shann @ Safari.com is fantastic!
We worked with Shann Shaw and she was amazing! As someone who usually books my own travel I was a little bit skeptical at first... But safaris are not like a typical vacation and there are just SO many different options. Shann was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions, and eventually found the perfect safari lodge for me and my family. I really don't think I could have done it without her help. Highly recommend working with her!

Booking with Leigh-Ann Croeser
Thank you for this fantastic booking experience. Leigh-Ann Croeser did everything to let my wishes become reality. I wasn’t an easy customer, but he never let me feel that.

Very Responsive and Patient w/ Our Needs!
Anja has been great in making our travel reservations! She is very quick and responsive (at all hours, I'm not sure when she sleeps)! We went back and forth on 39 emails. Yes, 39 emails for a couple of weeks. She made several different itineraries in ranging prices, types of accommodations, and locations. She was patient through the whole process and provided so much information. We finally decided on our perfect trip!

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.
