Golf Enthusiasts - Golf Safari South Africa 2026

Set at the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic oceans and backed by the iconic Table Mountain, the bustling city of Cape Town presents an alluring combination of drawcards. Incredible powdery white beaches, highly acclaimed wine routes, and astonishingly beautiful mountain trails surround a cosmopolitan hub. This diverse metropolis is filled with superb shops and restaurants, extraordinary heritage monuments, a multitude of entertainment venues, and a spectacular, chic waterfront harbour. Highlights include the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art; Table Mountain's jaw-dropping views; Boulders Beach, where penguins might swim right up to you in the warm Indian ocean waters; the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, where you can walk along a treetop canopy among incredible native flora or watch an open-air concert at the base of the mountain; Robben Island, where visitors can see the cell where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years; and many more.

The Paarl Wine Route is situated roughly 60 kilometres inland from Cape Town and stretches north of Stellenbosch, and is one of the most famous wine regions in the country. The area is particularly notable for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay. However, extremely hot, dry summers and cold winters allow for a wide variety - visitors will also find superb roses, sparkling wines, and dessert wines - as well as plenty of other reds and whites. Culinary enthusiasts flock here as much for the impressive restaurants as for the wines - with most of these overlooking jaw-dropping pastoral scenes. Must-see estates include Fairview, Glen Carlou, Black Pearl, and the Vilafonte project, a highly acclaimed Napa Valley/Paarl collaboration. Travellers can also look forward to stately heritage architecture, an array of excellent museums, and some lovely boutiques.

The southern area of South Africa’s most famous game reserve, the Kruger National Pak, is separated from lush farmland by the Crocodile River, a popular area to spot crocodiles, playful hippos and thirsty wildlife. The game viewing area is known as the ‘Southern Circle’ and is renowned for its rhinos and lions, with different prides boasting an array of different hunting techniques and behaviours to observe. Near the Hippo Pool, visitors can view ancient San rock paintings. The Southern Kruger offers incredible game-viewing opportunities and magnificent landscapes covered in African bushveld and savannah.

Johannesburg is one of Africa’s largest and most vibrant cities. It is an economic powerhouse in Africa and the gateway to Southern Africa. This bustling city offers a wide range of activities, attractions and plenty to do in and around the city including nearby Pretoria. Downtown is a multi-cultural mixture of traditional medicine shops, Chinese restaurants, taxi ranks and ultra-modern skyscrapers. There are excellent museums, art galleries and organised tours of historical and political interest. The shopping is Southern Africa’s best and the many restaurants cater for all tastes. Soweto, a township steeped in history and a significant part of the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan area, is a popular tourist destination.
