Big 5 Safari at Aquila
Visiting a Big Five safari is an adventure like no other, and taking a helicopter flight from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is the perfect way to make it even more special.
As you soar over the picturesque landscapes of the Western Cape, you’ll feel a sense of excitement building inside you. From the air, you can see the sprawling city of Cape Town slowly receding, and soon enough you’ll be landing in one of two private game reserves: Aquila or Fairy Glen
Both reserves offer the chance to see Africa’s Big Five up close and personal. These majestic creatures, including lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos, are the pride of Africa and draw visitors from all over the world.
After landing at your chosen reserve, you’ll be treated to a VIP experience. Enjoy a game drive through the reserve, led by an experienced guide who will share fascinating insights about the animals and their habitat. You’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Big Five, seeing them in their natural habitat and witnessing their raw power and beauty.
At the end of the day, you’ll return to Cape Town by helicopter, with memories that will last a lifetime. A Big Five safari by helicopter is an unforgettable experience, and one that is not to be missed if you find yourself in Cape Town.

First class Cape Town experience - One of the best experiences we’ve done. The flight was out of this world. The scenery was stunning and our pilot, Nick, was first class. All the staff were lovely... read more and super helpful. Can’t recommend this enough!
