Golf Vacations in Africa

Africa offers some of the world’s most incredible golf courses

Walk the fairways in some of the most spectacular countries on earth

Sunshine, wildlife and incredible courses can be found across Africa

Keen golfers have always loved the chance to visit South Africa for its incredible array of golf courses, from traditional coastal links to breath-taking tournament courses and rolling parkland layouts, with all major tourist areas offering access to world class golf. Cape Town is home to gems such as Royal Cape and Milnerton, whilst the nearby winelands are home to Pearl Valley, one of the country’s best courses.

Further afield, the Garden Route town of George is home to the Fancourt Resort, home to three courses including the stunning Links Course, host of the 2003 President’s Cup. In the north-west of the country the legendary Sun City is home to two courses, one of which hosts a European Tour playoff event each year, whilst the stunning Leopard Creek on the edge of the Kruger National Park rightly lays claim to being one of the best-located courses in the world and is also a regular host of tour events. Johannesburg and Durban are also home to superb courses, as are the small beach towns of the Eastern Cape.

Whilst it is tempting to feel golf in Africa starts and ends in South Africa, the sport is becoming more and more popular across the continent, with an array of amazing courses cropping up. Kenya is leading the charge, with some lovely traditional courses to be found in Nairobi, which also hosts its own European Tour event. Towards the coast there are some lovely courses to enjoy, so visitors can take a break from the beach and enjoy a round or two.

Neighbouring Tanzania is home to a superb course on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar recently opened its first course as well. Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe are all places where a round can be enjoyed during the course of a holiday, with the latter having a superb layout close to Victoria Falls to enjoy.

The Indian Ocean islands are also a superb destination, with Mauritius offering a wonderful array of links and parkland courses for golfers to enjoy and is very much a standalone golf destination in its own right. The Seychelles has one golf course attached to a lovely luxury hotel so visitors here can enjoy as much golf as they like in one of the most breath-taking destinations on earth.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
