Where you go, and why
Fancourt Golf Estate, Garden Route
Open with four nights at South Africa's most celebrated golf resort beneath the Outeniqua Mountains — rounds on the estate's championship courses, unlimited practice facilities and range balls, and the Garden Route's lagoons and forests at your door.
STAY Fancourt Hotel, George
Lukimbi Safari Lodge, Kruger National Park
Fly to the Kruger and sink into the rhythm of the bush at Lukimbi, a luxury lodge with exclusive rights over fifteen thousand hectares in the park's quiet south. Six game drives over three days put you among lion, leopard, elephant and the full chorus of the African wild — with high-tea send-offs and fireside returns.
STAY Lukimbi Safari Lodge, Kruger
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Finish at a natural wonder of the world. A guided walking tour takes you along the rainforest path opposite the mile-wide curtain of Victoria Falls; a sunset dinner cruise drifts you down the Zambezi among hippo and elephant; and a full-day excursion crosses into Botswana's Chobe National Park, home of the largest elephant herds on earth. Three countries, one camera roll you'll never delete.
STAY The Victoria Falls Hotel

Asked before you booked
How much does Golf, Safari & the Falls cost?
This journey is priced on request because seasonality moves the numbers meaningfully. For an exact figure, use the Price a Private Version tool — adjust the nights, rounds and experiences and our quoting engine returns your private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.
How many rounds of golf are on this journey?
4 rounds are built in — Fancourt estate rounds, Fancourt practice facilities (unlimited). Every round can be kept, swapped or dropped when you price your private version.
Can my non-golfing partner come?
Absolutely — this is the heart of how we design. While the golfers play, the Gallery programme runs parallel experiences (game drives, spas, wine, walks, markets), and everyone reunites for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.
When is the best time to take this journey?
Best months are Year-round — we'll time it to the seasons. We will be honest about the trade-offs of any month you are considering — every season has its version of this trip.
Where will we stay?
Exact, named properties at every stop — on this journey: Fancourt Hotel, George, Lukimbi Safari Lodge, Kruger, The Victoria Falls Hotel. Every property is hand-picked from our register; none paid for, none reciprocated.
Do I need a visa for South Africa?
Most UK, US, EU, Canadian and Australian passport holders get a free visitor visa on arrival for stays up to 90 days. We confirm the current rules for your nationality when you book.
Is there malaria on this trip?
Cape Town, the Winelands and the Garden Route are completely malaria-free. The Kruger lowveld carries a low seasonal risk — we will advise on simple precautions — and if you prefer zero risk, we can route your safari to malaria-free reserves like Madikwe, Shamwari or Gondwana instead.
What is the weather like for golf?
The Cape plays best from October to April — long, dry summer days. The Kruger and the highveld are at their best for safari in the dry winter months, May to September. Most of our South African journeys work year-round; we will time yours to what matters most to you.
