It has a glitzy casino, water park, spa, restaurants, bars, boutiques, and most importantly, two world-class Gary Player- designed courses. You’ll be staying at Sun City’s Cascades Hotel, characterised by its tiered silhouette that rises out of its tropical surroundings like an Aztec temple.

DAY 3: Thursday 14 February SUN CITY
Anticipation will be running high this morning as we prepare for our first game. You’ll be keen to tee it up on the Lost City Golf Course. This desert style course is surrounded by spectacular views across the African wilderness. Beware of the famous 13th, a par 3 with Nile crocodiles residing in the moat around the green.
Non-golfers: Choose between a 1 hour Segway tour of Sun City or a trip to Predator World to see Africa’s predator species up close and personal.

This evening we’ll join for dinner and gush over the beauty that surrounds what will be our home-away-from-home for the next two nights. There’s something wonderfully intoxicating about this place. It’s laying in bed to hear the animals calling, it’s waking up to the smell of the African wilderness, it’s something special that you’ll only understand once you get here.
(B, D) Hotel: Perry’s Bridge Hollow Hotel
DAY 6: Sunday 17 February KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
After an early breakfast, we head to Kruger National Park for a half-day game drive in search of the ‘locals’. It’s easy to see why Kruger ranks as Africa’s best wildlife experience. More than 2 million hectares with countless wildlife and more species than any other park. You’re sure to have some wonderful stories to share as we join together for a group dinner this evening.
We return to the hotel in the afternoon to unwind for a few hours before heading to the Shangaan River Club for dinner and a show. You’ll be immersed in a feast of culture with a night of song and dance and an unforgettable African Banquet.

The course is characterised by 7 majestic holes that line the Indian Ocean rock cliffs, four of which are played over ocean and cliff.

This afternoon, we head toward the Cape. The landscapes traversed on this trip are said to be some of the most scenic in the world. Rolling fields of canola and wheat set in a fynbos-laden mountain backdrop, cover the landscape as far as the eye can see.

We’ll take a cable car up Table Mountain to enjoy amazing views of the cityscape and as far as Robben Island. You really can’t say you’ve visited Cape Town until you’ve stood on top of it.
Known as ‘The Mother City’ this is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is a must on any South African itinerary. Our home for the next 3 nights was originally built as a convict station. Today The Portswood Hotel is somewhere you’re far more likely to want to extend your stay.
(B) Hotel: The Portswood Hotel
DAY 15: Tuesday 26 February CAPE TOWN
Enjoy a leisurely morning before we head to Clovelly Country Club for a challenging mid-day round of golf. Set in the Fish Hoek Valley, the course was designed to be secluded from the everyday noises of passing cars and local railway tracks to truly entrench your senses into your game. With breathtaking views of the False Bay Coastline and the surrounding mountains and valleys, it is little wonder that Clovelly was one of Bobby Locke’s favourite courses.
