Best Journey Time
South Africa is an ideal destination for golfers all year round thanks to its varied climate. However, some months are particularly favorable for a relaxed game. The cooler months from May to September are considered the best golfing season. Temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is low. Perfect for a morning round on the fairway before the sun rises too high, or for a relaxed game in the afternoon when it starts to cool down.
However, this time also coincides with the peak tourist season, so it is advisable to plan early. The low season between April and October is ideal for those who like things a little quieter. The weather is still pleasant during these months, but the golf courses are not as busy - an ideal time to find great deals and last-minute bargains for a golf vacation in South Africa.
Special Destinations
South Africa offers unique golf destinations that combine impressive nature, rich culture and first-class golf courses. One of the most fascinating destinations is the Kruger National Park, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to a breathtaking variety of wildlife such as lions, elephants and rhinos. In addition to the impressive nature, visitors also have the opportunity to discover the cultural heritage of the region, visit traditional villages and learn more about the history and customs of the local population.
Cape Town is one of the most popular destinations for golfers. The city is a combination of vibrant culture, impressive scenery and one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the world. The golf course is located on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. From here you have a spectacular view of the sea and the famous Table Mountain.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced golfer, South Africa offers excellent opportunities for golf courses, training or course maturity directly on site. The varied mix of links and parkland holes with gently rolling fairways and challenging greens offers an exciting challenge for every skill level. A golf vacation in South Africa is more than just a round on the green. It is a unique combination of sport, nature and unforgettable experiences!
Culinary Highlights
South Africa is a country with great cultural diversity, which is also reflected in the country's cuisine. African, European and Asian influences merge and make South African cuisine unique.
Droëwors, an air-dried sausage made from beef or mutton, seasoned with coriander and cloves, is one of the best-known delicacies. Biltong, a type of salted dried meat, is also popular. It is made from beef or venison and refined with vinegar, salt and spices. If you prefer something sweet, you should definitely try koeksisters: crispy, deep-fried dough plaits that are doused with syrup and taste irresistible.
A culinary experience would not be complete without the first-class South African wines. During wine tastings, you can sample the fine wines from the world-famous Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions. Whether savory or sweet - South African cuisine offers something special for every taste. This makes every golf trip a culinary highlight!
