Golf and Safari in South Africa

South Africa offers a range of superb golfing opportunities. There are championship city courses, world-class golfing estates, seaside courses and even courses that sport live crocodiles in the water features. It has a good sunny climate, spectacular natural beauty, excellent game viewing and a wide range of accommodation options.

The difficult part is deciding how much golf you want to play and how much time you want to would like sightseeing and game viewing. For this reason, we plan our golf and game safaris on an individual basis, allowing guests as much flexibility as possible. The options include self-drive to fully escorted tours with professional guides.
