Worcester is a town located in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is situated in the Breede River Valley, about 120 kilometers northeast of Cape Town. Worcester is the largest town in the Breede Valley Municipality and serves as the administrative capital of the region. The town of Worcester is known for its picturesque setting, surrounded by majestic mountains, fertile valleys, and vineyards. It lies in a beautiful wine-producing area, making it a popular destination for wine enthusiasts. The region's Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and cool winters, creates ideal conditions for grape cultivation. Worcester is home to numerous wine estates and cellars, offering visitors the opportunity to explore vineyards, taste a variety of wines, and learn about the winemaking process. Some of the renowned wine farms in the Worcester area include Nuy Winery, Doolhof Wine Estate, and Merwida Winery.
Begin your day with a pickup at your central Cape Town hotel in an air-conditioned coach, and travel in comfort to the private and malaria-free Aquila Game Reserve in the midst of the southern Karoo semi-desert region. Meet your guide and game ranger when you reach the reserve, and from there climb into an open-air safari vehicle to begin your game drive. Learn about how the so-called ‘Big Five’ - African elephants, Cape buffaloes, lions, leopards, and rhinos - got their nickname as you keep your eyes peeled for any sign of them as well as giraffes, hippos, and other animals. The Aquila Game Reserve is particularly known for its abundant bird species, thanks in part to a large wetland area. There are over 170 species of birds that make their home in the park, including the endangered ‘Aquila’ Black Eagle from which the reserve takes its name. At the end of your safari drive, return for lunch (included) and then meet up with your host once again for the drive back to Cape Town.

It was something else to be chase by an elephant. One of the tourists shared banana and apples to the elephant and he wanted more and we had to move and was chased by the elephant,
Wow — what an unforgettable experience! We’re so glad everyone stayed safe, even with that unexpected encounter! Elephants are truly magnificent creatures, but as you saw, they can be very curious (especially when there are bananas and apples involved!). Thank you for sharing your story — it’s these kinds of real-life moments that make our tours so memorable. We appreciate you choosing us, and we look forward to welcoming you again for more exciting (but hopefully slightly calmer!) adventures
