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 Rail.
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 the Stellenbosch region. South Africa is famous for its diverse range of wines, and a wine-tasting experience will allow you to savour the flavours of the region while taking in the stunning surroundings.

If experiencing the Great Outdoors is something you enjoy, as well as game drives, why not do some whale watching in Hermanus, stroll around the stunning town of Stellenbosch, or even head north to visit the beautiful Blyde River Canyon.
