South Africa is one of the most exotic and exhilarating golf destinations in the world. Home to some of the greats of the game from Gary Player to Ernie Els, the Rainbow Nation offers a quality and quantity of golf to rival any nation.

With the dramatic scenery of the Cape, the iconic wildlife of the African continent, and fine local produce to sample at every turn, a South African golf safari provides a wholesome experience for all who choose to explore.

The finest courses can be found across two main regions. Travel the scenic Garden Route from the spectacular city of Cape Town, play nearby Pearl Valley and Arabella, sample fine wines in Stellenboch, and golf at luxurious Fancourt and the elegant St Francis Links.

Travel north to the Kruger National Park, and play among the wildlife at Leopard Creek. Combine your trip with a Safari, stay at a luxury lodge, enjoy game drives, and spend your evenings indulging in traditional Braai (BBQ) among the awe-inspiring nature.
