Uber helps passengers ‘Go Anywhere’ – even on safari in South Africa

Uber helps passengers explore different parts of the world. This month, the ride-sharing company launches one-day safari tours in South Africa as a part of its “Go Anywhere” program. Designed to permit users to enjoy limited-edition excursions resembling hot-air balloon rides in Cappadocia, Turkey, and boat tours in Greece, Italy and Spain, Uber’s travel initiative is expanding to South Africa.

“We designed our ‘Go Anywhere’ series to help our customers book their bucket list adventures with the Uber convenience they know and love,” said Frans Hiemstra, regional general manager for Uber in the Middle East and Africa, based on People magazine. “With Uber Safari – one of our craziest offers ever – our Reserve technology makes it easier than ever to unlock amazing travel experiences to South Africa.”

Uber Safaris offers full-day wildlife exploration in the private Aquila Game Reserve. Departing from Cape Town, travelers will travel two hours to the reserve in a typical rideshare vehicle and can be transferred to a standard safari truck upon arrival. In addition to transportation and wildlife, the experience includes lunch, a champagne toast, and time to explore the Aquila grounds.
