Golf Safaris in South Africa

Dreaming of a golf safari in South Africa that combines championship courses, big five safaris, and luxury lodges? Cedarberg Africa designs tailor-made golf tours where every round is as unforgettable as the landscape.

Whether you want golf to be the main event or just part of a bigger South African adventure, we’ll customize every detail — so you can focus on your swing, your safari sightings and your sundowners!

Why South Africa is a Golfer’s Paradise

Golf is a passion for many in South Africa, and it shows. Some of the world’s top golf architects — Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els — have shaped stunning courses that rival the best anywhere.

Think:

• Leopard Creek (next to Kruger’s wild bush)
• Gary Player Country Club at Sun City
• Fancourt Estate on the lush Garden Route
• Pearl Valley in the Winelands

Some of these spectacular golf courses have been featured on the European PGA Tour. All offer pristine fairways with dramatic African backdrops — elephants not included (on the course, at least).

Stay at some of the top Golf Hotels close or on these magnificent courses.

Your Golf Safari, Your Way

Choose the style that suits you:

• A self-drive golf holiday with luxury accommodation and pre-booked golf tee-off times
• A private golf tour with your own driver-guide, great for a group of friends
• A golf and safari combination, blending rounds with roaring wildlife encounters

Prefer a "safari first, golf later" approach? We arrange ‘golf in holidays’ too — where you simply sprinkle a few hand-picked rounds into your broader African safari itinerary.

Every trip is designed around your wishlist — not some set package.

Special Mention: Rovos Rail Golf Safari

For an unforgettable twist, consider the Rovos Rail Golf Safari — a luxurious rail journey across Southern Africa combining championship courses with fine dining and safari excursions. It’s golf travel… taken to a whole new level of legendary.

Indian Ocean Golf Escapes

Mauritius, and to a lesser degree, the Seychelles, have golf resorts in stunning Indian Ocean settings with a glorious sub-tropical climate. Lush fairways are lined with coconut palms and your spectators are paradise flycatchers and the odd curious tortoise! Both boast ‘six-star’ golf and water sport resorts to round off the story at the deluxe end of the spectrum.
