The Best of Africa
Cape Town. Stellenbosch. Victoria Falls. Nairobi. The Maasai Mara. The gorillas of Rwanda. Seventeen nights, five countries, six rounds — one journey no one else strings together.
A continent in one unbroken arc.
It begins under Table Mountain and ends in the bamboo mist of the Virungas. In between: golf among the vines, a round above the Zambezi gorge with the Falls' spray on the horizon, the grand old clubs of Nairobi a mile above sea level, the Migration plains of the Mara — and, on the final mornings, an hour in the company of mountain gorillas that guests tell us changes how they see everything, golf included.
Twelve guests. Two hosts. Every border, transfer, tee time and gorilla permit handled before you ever pack a bag.
Book the gorilla permits the moment you commit — they're capped each day and gone months ahead. On this journey, ours are secured the day your deposit lands.

Seventeen nights, in two halves a day.
Each day is built in halves — the wild, the fairway, and the Gallery's own — so nobody waits and nobody misses.
Table Mountain, two oceans, and a gentle first tee
Settle in beneath the mountain. A round at Steenberg among the Constantia vines to find your travel legs; the cable car, Cape Point and the penguins of Boulders for the party.
Stay: a five-star Cape Town hotel beneath the mountain
Golf among the vines
Thirty minutes into the winelands. A round at De Zalze beneath the Helderberg, then two unhurried days among the estates — cellar lunches, oak-lined streets, mountains the colour of slate at dusk.
Stay: a winelands estate hotel, Stellenbosch
The Smoke that Thunders
Fly north to the Zambezi. Mosi-oa-Tunya at full voice, a sunset cruise among hippo and elephant, and a round at Elephant Hills — Gary Player's design above the gorge, where warthog share the fairways and the spray drifts on the horizon.
Stay: a grand Zambezi-bank hotel, Victoria Falls
The grand old clubs of East Africa
Two rounds a mile above the sea — Muthaiga, home of the Magical Kenya Open, and Karen, beside Karen Blixen's Out of Africa farm. Up here the ball flies a club further; your caddie will tell you exactly which one.
Stay: a country-house hotel, Karen
The greatest wildlife theatre on earth
By light aircraft to a private conservancy bordering the Mara — off-road drives, night drives, walking, and almost no other vehicles. Lion, leopard and cheetah on wide gold plains; on the July departure, the river crossings themselves.
Stay: a private-conservancy camp, Greater Mara
The gorillas — and the only Gary Player course in East Africa
Kigali first: a round at Kigali Golf Resort & Villas, Player's amphitheatre across the thousand hills, and an afternoon in a capital the world has fallen for. Then north to the Virungas for the hour that guests struggle to describe afterwards: a family of mountain gorillas, an arm's length away, in the misted bamboo.
Stay: Kigali boutique hotel, then a Volcanoes NP lodge
The long talk on the way home
A last Kigali morning, then your hosts see you to the aircraft. Direct connections to Europe and beyond.
Priced honestly, line by line.

Pack soft holdalls, not hard cases — the little planes won't take them. Fifteen kilograms, soft-sided, and you'll never miss the rest. Your clubs travel separately in our care between cities.
Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.
We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
