Golf Safaris in South AfricaSouth Africa Self-Drive

Golf & Game Safari

Our Golf & Game holiday offers you some of the best golf courses in South Africa combined with a two-night safari in one of the premier game reserves of South Africa. You also visit beautiful Cape Town, the Cape Winelands, the Garden Route and the Dolphin Coast with its Indian Ocean beaches. Choose between a self-drive or semi-escorted basis.

Overview

Golf & Game is one of our signature South African golf & safari combinations: an invigorating blend of championship fairways, coastal scenery and an immersive Big Five safari. Across 11 nights, you’ll enjoy seven rounds of golf at some of the country’s most lauded courses, matched with refined five-star stays and the option to travel either on a self-drive basis, for complete independence. Or opt for private tours and transfers.

Journey Description

Your journey begins in the Cape, where you’ll play historic courses such as Royal Cape, Steenberg and Erinvale, alongside the celebrated courses of Fancourt, host to the Presidents Cup.

From here, you fly to KwaZulu Natal to experience the golden beaches and subtropical greens of the Dolphin coast, staying at the iconic Oyster Box Hotel. The finale is two unforgettable nights on safari in one of South Africa’s premier reserves—either at Rhino Sands or, for added indulgence, upgrade to Phinda Mountain or Phinda Forest Lodge.

This itinerary suits both couples and a group of friends, with luxury hotels and lodges that all feature excellent spa facilities for non-golfers.

As with all Cedarberg Africa journeys, the sample itinerary serves as inspiration: we can easily add nights, adjust routing, or combine self-drive with private guiding to create the pace and style that suits you best.

Guided Touring or Self Drive

We show this tour as either a privately transferred throughout with some time for optional touring as well. Or as a self-drive itinerary

Golf:

Seven rounds are included: 4 in the Cape and up to three available at Fancourt. Our itinerary outlines a likely playing schedule, though this remains flexible based on availability, seasonal conditions and your preferred tee times.

 

Tailor-make this golf safari:
  • Customise your Golf & Game journey with extra nights on safari or in Cape Town.
  • Or perhaps an upgraded stay at Fancourt Manor and Phinda Game Reserve.
  • Opt for a mix of self-drive and privately guided touring.
  • Party of 4 or more: If you are 4 people or more, contact us for a tailor-made quote if you want a privately guided tour.

 

We craft each itinerary around your ideal rhythm: more golf, more safari, or a seamless blend of both.
