The remainder of your day will be at your leisure.

ACCOMMODATION: CAPE GRACE HOTEL, CAPE TOWN (Luxury Room)

Situated on a private quay between Cape Town’s bustling V&A Waterfront and the tranquil yacht marina, there is no better position from where to soak in the natural beauty of our Mother City and the very essence of Cape Town living at its best.

DAY 2

After breakfast we leave the hotel to explore the Cape Peninsula on a scenic sightseeing tour. We visit Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, the Boulder penguin colony and drive over Chapman’s Peak before returning to our hotel. Your evening will be at leisure.

Cape Town, South Africa’s most popular travel destination has rightfully earned its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful cities alongside that of Sydney and San Francisco. Dominated by the world famous landmark, Table Mountain, and blessed with a spectacular coastline and a Mediterranean type climate, the mother city of South Africa has a variety of attractions to excite every visitor.

ACCOMMODATION: CAPE GRACE HOTEL, CAPE TOWN (Luxury Room)

DAY 3

After breakfast we leave Cape Town on a scenic drive (90 min) along the beautiful Cape coastline to the Arabella Hotel & Spa. Upon arrival you will tee off at the Arabella Golf Course. Surrounded by the magnificent Kogelberg mountain range and Bot River Lagoon, and edged by wild fynbos, the picturesque Arabella Golf Course is the ideal place to pursue and enjoy your passion for golf.

The fabled 18-hole, Par 72 Championship course has consistently been ranked in the top 10 courses in South Africa (currently ranked #9 in South Africa by Golf Digest magazine). Your golf journey will take you through breath taking scenery, pristine kikuyu fairways, challenging bunkers and water hazards; and will then test your skill on immaculate dominant-bent greens. All of which receive frequent high praise from golf professionals and amateurs alike.

Our drive back will be via the fruit and wine producing region of Elgin. You’ll be back in time for dinner at one of the 60+ restaurants on the V&A Waterfront.

ACCOMMODATION: CAPE GRACE HOTEL, CAPE TOWN (Luxury Room)

DAY 6

After an early breakfast we play “The Links” at Fancourt. The Links at Fancourt is an awe-inspiring example of magnificent design and golf-course construction, about which designer Gary Player says: “Links golf is how the game originated and at The Links we take golfers back to the roots of golf — and they can play a ‘British Open’ all of their own!”

“The Links” is without doubt the most impressive piece of golf design and construction ever in South Africa. When playing The Links, it is difficult to believe that one is not in Scotland or Ireland, until, that is, one notices the imposing Outeniqua mountain range that rises impressively in the background. — The Links was the host venue for the 2003 Presidents Cup and 2005 Women’s World Cup of Golf.

This evening you will be at leisure.

ACCOMMODATION: FANCOURT HOTEL & SPA, GEORGE (Luxury room)

DAY 7

Today we play the Montagu Golf Course at Fancourt.

The Montagu is a much celebrated parkland course and has been ranked as the number-one golf course in South Africa in the past. It has recently been redesigned by the famous David McLay Kidd (of Bandon Dunes fame). The new-look course, which has now grown in superbly, has been restored to its former glory where it will once again hold its head high amongst the best in the world.

Evening at leisure.

Add a fantastic range of luxury lodges suiting all tastes and an African dream safari is born.
