Why Escape on a Long Haul Golf Holiday to South Africa

South Africa offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation for golf enthusiasts looking to unwind in a picturesque setting. A golf holiday in South Africa can be further enhanced by combining it with a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, wine-tasting tours, helicopter rides, nature sightseeing, or jumping on a trip on board the luxurious Rovos Train.

Imagine starting your day with a round of golf at Fancourt, De Zalze or Pinnacle Point golf course with breathtaking views of the South African landscape. After a morning on the golf course, you can embark on a thrilling game drive adventure to witness the magnificent wildlife that roams the African savannah such as the Big 5.

In the evenings, indulge in South Africa’s renowned wine culture by visiting vineyards in Jonkershoek and going on wine-tasting tours.
