Golf Adventure in South Africa: Victoria Falls, Safari, and World-Class Courses

On arrival in Johannesburg, you will be met at the airport and taken to Sun City – a true visiting card of South Africa. This resort, built in the crater of an extinct volcano 187 kilometers from Johannesburg. According to legend, once upon a time in the place of Sun City was a prosperous African kingdom, which was wiped off the face of the earth by a terrible earthquake. Today, Sun City is a recreated beautiful kingdom from the past: the wonderful hotel Palace of the Lost City was created as an exact copy of the palace of African princes, and around it stretched the ruins of an ancient amphitheater, royal baths and a bridge of time, confirming the legend of the dead kingdom. On this day, you have a free program: whatever you dream of, you will find it in the fantastic city of the Sun with its unique entertainment, a variety of restaurants, casinos, several tropical and water parks.


The organizer reserves the right to make changes to the program due to weather conditions and other circumstances beyond their control.

In the morning, you will head to your first practice/game of golf in South Africa on the Lost City Golf Club course, designed in the “desert” style, covered in places with bushes, stone rocks, and cliffs, which not everyone can overcome. At the 13th stage, called Crocodile Pool, players are “waited” by 15 crocodiles.

On this day, you have a free program: whatever you dream of, you will find in the fantastic city of the Sun, with its unique entertainments, a variety of restaurants and casinos, tropical and water parks, as well as beautiful golf courses.

After playing golf and dinner – transfer to the airport and flight to the North-East of South Africa in a small airport near Kruger National Park. The Big Five of African animals live here – from rhinoceros to lions and, of course, other wild animals can be seen in their natural environment. Upon arrival you will meet a hotel representative who will take you to a Safari Lodge, which is only twenty minutes away from the airport. Dinner at the Lodge in the middle of the African savannah. Go to bed early, because the morning safari starts at dawn!

Today you will go on the first game-drive – a trip in an open jeep accompanied by a ranger who will find wild animals and tell you the most interesting about them. You will wake up early in the morning with a hot cup of coffee and take you for the morning game-drive when animals are most active. Safari lasts about three hours. Wear warm clothes, because after the night the savannah has not yet warmed up. In the middle of your trip, you will definitely stop in the savannah to have a snack and drink a cup of hot tea or coffee.

After the safari, return to the lodge and have breakfast. In the afternoon, you will have a tour to Blyde River Canyon – one of the largest mountain canyons in Africa. Mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and breathtaking views – this is a real place of power.

In the morning, golf awaits you again! And not just on a golf course, but the famous Leopard Creek Country Club, which was designed by the great Gary Player and is among the top 100 fields in the world. Also, this golf club hosts the annual Alfred Dunhill Challenge Championship, which you can visit in December. Since 2000, this prestigious tournament has occupied a unique place in world golf, among whose champions are winners of major championships and former number one golfers in the world, such as Justin Rose, Adam Scott, Charles Schwartzel and Ernie Els.

After a game of golf and lunch, you will fly to Cape Town in the South. At the airport, you will be met by a driver who will take you to the historic town of Stellenbosch. Tonight you will spend the night at a hotel on a winery. Here you can enjoy SPA treatments and dinner in a stunning restaurant without leaving the hotel.

After breakfast, together with a guide, you will walk through the center of the historical Stellenbosch, which will take you to Europe. And after a light walk around the city – you will go to the three most interesting and different wineries in this region: historical, designer and family. Choose your favorite wine, taste the local cuisine and enjoy the best views. In the evening, free time to gain strength before the busy tomorrow.

In the morning you will have one more game at the golf club:

• Pearl Valley – host to three South African Opens. This course is consistently ranked among the ten best golf courses in South Africa and is famous for its magnificent views and conditions.

Or

• Stellenbosch Golf Club is one of the oldest golf clubs in South Africa (1904). This magnificent golf course has hosted some of the most prestigious golf tournaments in South Africa, including the 1999 South African Open and 5 tournaments of the South African Masters.

After golf, you will move to Cape Town, have lunch at an author’s restaurant in one of the most beautiful places in the city, a small sightseeing tour, and check in to the hotel. In the late afternoon – sunset by the ocean or on Signal Hill mountain and seafood dinner at a restaurant on the waterfront.

Once in Cape Town, you can’t miss the place of force – Good Hope Bay. There you will go immediately after breakfast. The road will go along the mountain pass along the ocean. Stopping at another trendy coffee shop along the way, you will come to a place where two oceans meet, ostriches and antelopes roam freely, and the spirit of adventure is felt so strongly that you want to immediately raise the sails and go on long voyages. Here you will spend at least two hours – the guide will tell local legends and stories and show the most interesting places: from the lighthouse to the secret beach.

After the excursion to the cape, lunch by the ocean awaits you, and then – the highlight of the program: a beach where penguins live. With them you can walk along the beach, swim in the water and, of course, take pictures. Towards the end of the day – return to the hotel and dinner in the city.

This day will be dedicated to the city at the end of the world – a guided tour of Cape Town. You will see the historical center, the Victoria and Alfred waterfront, fashionable shops of local designers, drink coffee in a cozy coffee shop and take photos in the very area with multi-colored houses. After lunch – a tour of the botanical garden, which is recognized as UNESCO heritage or climbing to Table Mountain – one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. On the last evening in Cape Town, we will book a table for you in one of the best restaurants in the city.

Today you will leave South Africa and go to the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, where Victoria Falls is located. Only 2.5 hours of flight, and you will find yourself in the heart of colonial Africa. At the airport you will be met and taken to a hotel overlooking the Zambezi River. If time allows, at sunset you will have a river cruise, on which you will see hippos and hear the powerful roar of water. This is a prelude to what awaits you tomorrow – a meeting with the largest waterfall in Africa.

After breakfast – check out from the hotel for a helicopter tour. It’s simply impossible to make such a journey to Victoria Falls without seeing it from the sky. The “Flight of Angels” takes 25 minutes, but these will be the brightest minutes of your trip. After the helicopter tour, you will head to Livingstone Island. From there, you can see the waterfall up close and even swim in the Devil’s Pools, a safe spot right on the edge of the waterfall. After the tour, lunch in the city and return to the hotel. A calm, unhurried evening, free time, and dinner at the hotel.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport and flight to Johannesburg. Upon arrival, transfer to a boutique hotel in a nice and stylish area of the city. This is the last day of your trip, which can be spent relaxing, shopping, preparing for the return flight, or for the final game of golf. This will be at the exclusive The River Club, probably the field with the best conditions you have ever played on; or at the Rand Park Golf Club – one of the leading golf courses in Johannesburg. The Firethorn course hosted the South African Open in 2019 and 2020.
