This is not a checklist tour. It’s an adventurous narrative, designed to immerse you in South Africa’s most compelling golf courses while revealing the country’s character between rounds: the silence of the bush at dawn, sunset drives through Big Five reserves, and evenings spent around the fire with good wine and better stories.
From £4,990 per person*
*All rates are indicative and subject to availability at the time of booking. To ensure the highest level of service and flexibility, final pricing may be adjusted where required based on availability, supplier rates and itinerary requirements.

The Courses You'll Play
The African Golf Challenge features a handpicked selection of South Africa’s most distinctive courses, each designed to be both an exceptional test of golf and a reflection of its natural surroundings.
Each round feels different, and every course tells its own story. You will play bushveld courses where wildlife sightings are a part of the round and modern championship courses that offer a strategic and visually stunning challenge. Each of these courses have consistently ranked among South Africa’s finest, providing variety, sophistication, and unforgettable views.
Nestled in the pristine Waterberg bushveld, this Peter Matkovich-designed par-72 masterpiece winds through open plains teeming with plains game. Wide fairways, stunning mountain views, and free-roaming animals make every shot an adventure in Africa's untamed beauty.
A top 30 South African gem in the malaria-free Waterberg, this exclusive Peter Matkovich layout meanders through fertile valleys, perennial streams, and indigenous bush. Serene hillsides and panoramic vistas offer a luxurious retreat where golf feels like pure escapism.
Right on the edge of Kruger National Park, this iconic "golf in the wild" course delivers true excitement. Giraffes stride across fairways, while hippos wallow in water hazards – all making for a classic bushveld challenge where nature steals the show.
Deep inside the mighty Kruger, this unfenced 9-hole (18-tee) treasure is dubbed the "wildest course on earth". Play alongside the Big Five, with crocodiles in the rivers alongside you and impala grazing on the greens – an exhilarating, close-to-nature round you'll never forget.
South Africa's top-rated 9-hole course overlooks the Crocodile River near Kruger. With the Lebombo Mountains as a backdrop and African wildlife often in view right from the clubhouse deck, this scenic gem challenges all levels in pure wilderness style.
The crown jewel bordering Kruger, Gary Player's masterpiece hugs the Crocodile River with dramatic elevations, bulkheaded ponds, and frequent Big Five sightings. Elite, exclusive, and utterly spectacular, this is golfing perfection in the wild.
