Uber expands into tourism in South Africa with Uber Safari

Uber is going wild, but not in a bad sense. The global ride-hailing giant is venturing beyond its core business to offer unique tourism experiences. This service allows tourists in Cape Town to embark on a full-day wildlife adventure to Aquila Private Game Reserve.

For a flat fee of $200, riders can enjoy a round-trip journey, including a guided game drive to spot wild animals. The safari experience is available on Fridays and Saturdays from October 2024 to February 2025.
