ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

Touch down in Cape Town, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by the local team. From there, head straight to the Taj Cape Town — a boutique hotel steeped in history, occupying the city’s original Reserve Bank building. Keep an eye out for some of the original architectural details cleverly woven into its elegant design. Nestled within walking distance of Greenmarket Square, Company’s Garden, and St George’s Mall, the Taj offers old-world elegance and contemporary style — the perfect base for the start of your golf journey in South Africa.

Overnight Taj Cape Town - Luxury Heritage King Room

7 April - (B) Ernie Els Winery and Golf at de Zalze GC
Enjoy a relaxed start to the day with a wine tasting at the Ernie Els Winery in Stellenbosch. With a little liquid courage in hand, it’s off to De Zalze Golf Club, ranked #31 by SA’s Top 100 Courses.

Set against a backdrop of mountains and vineyards, De Zalze delivers one of the Cape Winelands’ most scenic rounds. The Peter Matkovich layout combines generous fairways with well-placed water hazards, undulating greens, and memorable risk-reward holes. The Blaauwklippen River meanders through the estate, adding natural beauty and challenge on several holes.

Dinner options at the hotel include the elegant Bombay Brasserie for fine Indian cuisine, or the more relaxed Mint Restaurant & Terrace. If you’d prefer to explore, the concierge can easily arrange a car for transfers to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where you’ll find a wide choice of excellent restaurants overlooking the harbour. We’ll also share our guide to favourite and newly opened restaurants around Cape Town.
Dinner at own expense.

8 April - (B) Golf at Pearl Valley GC ranked #4 and a visit to Franschhoek

An early start today with tee times from 8am at Pearl Valley, within the Val de Vie Estate. This is luxury golf in a spectacular setting. Home to a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, it’s ranked the best of his South African designs — and with good reason. Immaculate fairways of cool-season grass, smooth bent grass greens, and clever use of water and sand hazards create a course that’s as beautiful as it is rewarding to play. Natural grasses add texture and contrast to the layout, while the mountain views make every round unforgettable.

The bonus of the early tee time is that it affords the opportunity to visit the picturesque enclave of Franschhoek, the celebrated as the culinary epicentre of the nation and is a must-visit destination for epicurean delights. Depending on the mood and timing, we may stop at a winery en route for a tasting, before heading to Franschhoek for some shopping and an early dinner.

Dinner at own expense.

10 April - (B,L,D) Hello Fancourt! Golf at Montagu

An early start this morning as we fly to George at 7:00 AM, with tee times from 11:20 AM at South Africa’s #11-ranked course, Montagu.

The Montagu Course at Fancourt is a visual treat from the opening tee to the final green, with broad fairways framed by manicured gardens, mature trees, and the majestic Outeniqua Mountains. Originally a Gary Player design, the course was reimagined by David McLay Kidd in 2004 and further refined by Player in 2018 to improve playability while preserving its traditional parkland charm.

Known for superb conditioning and fast, true greens, Montagu is a rewarding challenge. The front nine stands out, with a river weaving through several holes — especially the sixth and seventh, two of Fancourt’s finest par 4s.

After golf, check in at the Fancourt Hotel, South Africa’s premier golf resort.

Meet for dinner at La Cantina. Drinks at own expense.

11 April - (B,L,D) Golf at Outeniqua, ranked #23

The Outeniqua Course at Fancourt offers a scenic and rewarding round from start to finish. It begins just below Monet’s restaurant terrace with a gentle par 4 that hints at the variety to come. Water hazards feature on 11 holes, complemented by clever bunkering that keeps things interesting from tee to green.

Unlike the Montagu, Outeniqua follows an out-and-back layout through Fancourt’s picturesque residential estate, with a dedicated halfway house at the turn. The terrain is varied and engaging, with notable elevation changes, particularly along the tree-lined edges of the property.

This evening, meet at Henry White’s for dinner. Drinks at own expense.

12 April - (B,L) Golf at Pinnacle Point - Ranked #10

We leave for Mossel Bay after breakfast.

Before golf we’ll visit the Point of Human Origin Caves nestled somewhat incongruously beneath the Pinnacle Point clifftop. A series of wooden steps and walkways take you into some of the caves below the clifftop where you get a practical glimpse into our own origins. Flint artefacts can still be found, and the lives of those who made them over 160,000 years ago will be described by your knowledgeable guide.

You’ll need a coffee after climibing the 200 steps to the cave and back!

Pinnacle Point is one of a rare group of golf courses in the world built on high cliffs overlooking the ocean. It’s a spectacular experience and ranks with the likes of Pebble Beach in California, Old Head in Ireland, Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand and Playa Grande in the Dominican Republic. It has twice been named Africa’s Best Golf Course and South Africa’s Best Golf Course, in 2022 and 2020, at the World Golf Awards. Several of the holes at Pinnacle Point are amazing in terms of wow factor, and even when you’re playing inland you still enjoy wonderful views of the Indian Ocean. Risk-reward holes are a feature of Pinnacle Point.

Dinner at a restaurant of your choosing at Fancourt. (For own account).

15 April 2026 - (B,L,D) - Guided Tour of Victoria Falls and River Safari, Chobe National Park

Wake to the unforgettable sight of zebras grazing on the lawns of the Royal Livingstone Resort. After a leisurely, indulgent breakfast overlooking the Zambezi River, set out on a guided tour of the magnificent Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world. Feel the cool mist on your face and hear the thunderous roar as the mighty Zambezi plunges into the gorge below.

Next, we cross into Botswana and the renowned Chobe National Park, famed for its rich diversity of wildlife. Enjoy lunch on the banks of the Chobe River, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Afterwards, board a private river safari raft for an unforgettable afternoon on the water. Chobe is home to one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, and as the heat of the day softens, you’ll witness these majestic creatures gathering at the water’s edge. It’s a truly remarkable perspective — watching wildlife from the river, as elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and countless bird species create an awe-inspiring, ever-changing scene before you.

Return to Livingstone in the late afternoon.

Meet for dinner.

Overnight - Royal Livingstone Hotel - Premier Room

16 April 2026 - (B,D) - Free Day to Relax or Optional Experiences

Today is yours to relax and enjoy the comforts of the Royal Livingstone Hotel. Lounge by the riverside pool, sip a cocktail as the Zambezi drifts by, or indulge in a spa treatment with views over the water.

For those seeking adventure, a range of optional experiences await. Take to the skies on the iconic Angel Flight, a thrilling helicopter ride that offers a bird’s-eye view of Victoria Falls - a perspective few ever witness.

Or, spend the day on Livingstone Island, perched right at the edge of the Falls where explorer David Livingstone once stood. Enjoy a gourmet lunch surrounded by the spray and thunder of the Falls, and for the truly daring, take a dip in the legendary Angels’ Pool - a natural rock pool right on the precipice of this natural wonder.

Whether you choose leisure or adventure, today promises memories to last a lifetime.
