When you think of Uber, you likely picture services like cabs, autos, and shuttles. Some places, like the UK, even offer Uber boats. However, did you know that Uber has introduced a thrilling new option: Uber Safari? It may sound astonishing, but it’s true! Uber Safari has just been launched in Cape Town, South Africa. This offering is part of Uber’s ‘Go Anywhere’ travel series, giving users easy access to one of Africa’s most celebrated adventures, all through the app.
Available for booking through the Uber App until the end of January 2026, Uber Safari is perfect for those in Cape Town eager to experience Africa’s Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, and rhinos. In collaboration with Aquila Private Game Reserve, one of the top wildlife conservancies in South Africa, riders can look forward to a hassle-free safari experience.
The Uber Safari offers a day trip, starting with a pickup in a branded Uber Safari vehicle from Cape Town, letting travelers unwind as they leave the city behind. Once the travelers arrive at Aquila, they are greeted with a welcome toast and enjoy lunch before hopping onto a traditional safari vehicle guided by skilled game rangers.
