Cape Town, August 08, 2023
South Africa is one of the top safari destinations in the world if you’re looking to see the “African Big Five” – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo. While many tourists believe the Kruger National Park is the only place to go on safari, National Geographic Poland has recognised the Western Cape as the best South African Province to explore, offering spectacular coastlines, 300 year old vineyards, natural world wonders, and the ultimate Big 5 safari adventure!
Even the Daily telegraph, a prominent British newspaper, has recently named South Africa as the most interesting destination in the world. However, given the size of the country, experiencing everything in a single trip can prove to be quite a challenge. So, why not set your sights on the heart of the Western Cape, the country’s most captivating region, and explore the vibrant epicentre of it all – Cape Town!
"Spectacular coastlines, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, 300-year-old vineyards, and Big 5 safaris at your fingertips - these are surprising facts about South Africa's most interesting province"

The Western Cape stands as a microcosm of all that is captivating and vibrant about South Africa. A treasure trove of historical sights and unique experiences, the Cape encapsulates the beauty and soul of the entire country, from its diverse landscapes to its rich cultural heritage.
Two outstanding reserves, Aquila Private Game Reserve and Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve, beckon just a short two-hour drive from Cape Town. These expanses of untouched wilderness offer not only thrilling Big 5 safari excursions but also unique accommodations that allow you to immerse yourself within nature.
"In Inverdoorn, located away from civilisation, you can spend the night in luxurious tents, and in Aquila Private Game Reserve, in bungalows overlooking the mountains."

Perfect for day-trips and overnight stays close to Cape Town, visitors can experience the thrill of a Big 5 safari while enjoying all that the City has to offer. Imagine spending the night in luxurious tents under the starlit African sky at Inverdoorn, or awakening to breathtaking Karoo mountain vistas from the comfort of bungalows at Aquila Private Game Reserve.
Aquila Collection, in partnership with Cany B Global Events, recently organised an exciting fam trip to Cape Town in a collaborative effort to generate awareness and elevate travel from Poland to South Africa.

With a minimal time difference (and sometimes none at all), exploring the wonders of South Africa becomes an exciting and rewarding experience for Polish tourists. The unique time zone alignment allows travellers from Poland and central Europe to maximise their vacation time and immerse themselves in the beauty of the Western Cape–without the usual disruptions and delays associated with international travel.
