Favourite route:

Cape Town, Garden Route & Safari

Add image of map here

South Africa has an abundance of pristine championship golf estates and courses to choose from.

The majority of our tours begin or end in Cape Town where you have the possibility of combining the tour with many world famous experiences and wine regions.

The Garden route connects Cape Town and the Big 5 safari destinations in the malaria-free Eastern Cape.

Combining these two regions with overnight stays at various golf estates along the way is by far the favourite amongst past groups.

Typical tours would range between 10-12 days with around 6-7 courses being played and a whole variety of add-on experiences and excursions in between.

The route is well marked, short driving distances, full up with tourism and hospitality options and spoilt for choice with courses. This would be the best option to see many different courses and have a great time.

Golf and safari

Cape Town, Winelands & Kruger National Park
Designed to suit your travel needs.

This tour combines some of the most unique courses in South Africa with safari experiences in the Kruger National Park. The courses have been hand selected to include wildlife sightings, co-inhabiting the surrounding vegetation and fairways. South Africa is full of marvels and wonders but this all-inclusive tour is sure to be unforgettable.

The tour begins in Sun City, a short distance from Johannesburg International Airport. Sun City has been voted South Africa’s best resort and for good reason, there is something for everyone here. The tour spends 2 nights here enjoying golf at both of their courses, Lost City and the iconic Gary Player Country Club, one of the world’s longest courses (8000 yards). Both courses were designed by Gary Player, Godfather of South African golf.

After a great introduction to South African hospitality and fun we continue to Hans Merensky Hotel and spa for golf on our country’s most favourable walking courses. Here you will share the golfing experience with resident Giraffe, Hippo, Crocodile and other antelope species on the course.

From there we enter the nearby Kruger National Park, our largest game reserve destination boasting almost 2 million hectares of diverse wildlife and safari lodges. We take a break from golf to enjoy the luxurious splendours of our Big 5 safari experiences.

We head further south through the wild to Skukuza Camp, for more golf with some close-to-nature experiences with the local Big 5 wandering around the surroundings.

We end this fabulous tour at Leopard Creek, another Gary Player design and hands down one of South Africa’s very best.

This golfing safari is one for the memories for sure.

This is the site of one of the world’s most remarkable natural spectacles: the annual Great Migration when nearly two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle traverse the savanna in pursuit of water and new grass. Predators like lion and cheetah stalk in their wake. Farther south, in Tarangire National Park, vast herds of elephant outnumber people. With some of the continent’s greatest concentrations of wild animals, Tanzania is duly famed as a top safari destination.

Marvels and Natural Wonders such as the Fish River Canyon, the oldest desert in the world, the Skeleton Coast, the utopia of Etosha National Park, the Sossusvlei sand dunes ranging amongst the highest in the world and vast plains broken by eruptions of rocky outcrops leaves you wondering how these features were created.
