Your Perfect Getaway with Africa Golf Safari

Imagine yourself on a sun-drenched golf course where the greens are lush, and occasionally, a zebra or giraffe might wander past as you line up your shot. That’s the magic of luxury golf vacations in Africa. With Africa Golf Safari, planning that perfect getaway becomes a delightful experience. Let me walk you through some amazing destinations and how our specialized services can turn your dream trip into reality.

Africa’s Wildlife-Inspired Golf Courses

Golfing in Africa takes the sport to a whole new level. Let’s talk about courses where the wildlife isn’t just a distant backdrop but an integral part of the game. One such gem is Leopard Creek Country Club in Kruger National Park. Known for its views of the Crocodile River, you might find yourself pausing mid-swing to admire a herd of elephants or a pride of lions by the water. Truly, it’s golf with a sense of wild adventure.

Skukuza offers a truly unique golfing experience where the beauty of the African bush is your playground. Antelope might graze nearby as you perfect your putt, while families of warthogs trot across the greens, adding a playful touch to your game. It’s not uncommon to stop playing because there are lions or hyena on the golf course. At Skukuza, every round of golf becomes a memorable safari adventure, blending the love of the game with the thrill of the wild in a way only Africa can.

Another unforgettable spot is Vipingo Ridge in Kenya. Nestled along the Kenyan coastline, this course not only offers world-class facilities but also stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The club is near several game reserves, so you can divide your time between your passion for golf and thrilling safaris. While you’re enjoying the coastal views and pristine fairways, you’re not too far from the renowned Lamu Old Town. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a treasure trove of Swahili culture, with its narrow streets, beautiful architecture, and rich history. How about spotting the Big Five during a morning game drive and catching an afternoon tee time? Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

Golf Courses Near Iconic Game Reserves

One of the unique draws of luxury golf vacations in Africa is proximity to game reserves. Play a round in the morning and enjoy a guided tour through the African wilderness in the afternoon – it’s the best of both worlds. Take Fancourt in South Africa’s Garden Route, for example. Known for its garden settings and year-round sunny weather, Fancourt offers three amazing courses. The Montagu, Outeniqua, and The Links courses are consistently ranked among the best in the world. After a round, you can easily hop over to the the Addo Elephant Park or Gondwana Game Reserve and witness the Big Five that makes Africa so special.

Popular Golfing Destinations Worth Exploring

Now, if you’re contemplating your next golf getaway but want more options, there are a few more destinations that you should consider:

  • Arabella Golf Estate: This course in Hermanus, South Africa, and borders the Bot River Lagoon. It’s not just about the game here; the birdlife is phenomenal.
  • Gary Player Country Club: Located in Sun City, this course hosted the prestigious Nedbank Golf Challenge. It’s a true test of skill, with some teasing hazards peppering the landscape.
  • Pinnacle Point Estate: Perched on dramatic cliffs over the Indian Ocean, it’s widely considered a dream course for any golfer. The sight of the ocean waves crashing against the cliffs as you play is unparalleled.
