Special Destinations
One of the most popular destinations for visitors to South Africa is the metropolis of Cape Town in the Western Cape. Every year, millions of tourists flock to the city to experience the fascinating flair of the city, the impressive coastal landscape and the majestic Table Mountain. But the region also has a lot to offer away from Cape Town. Places such as Knysna, the Overberg District, Paarl and the famous Garden Route promise unforgettable experiences. The Garden Route leads along picturesque stretches of coastline, through a seemingly untouched landscape and lush nature.
Hermanus, known as the "whale capital", is located to the east of Cape Town. With a bit of luck, you can spot whales from the shore. The chances of encountering these impressive marine mammals are particularly good between August and November, as they are out and about in the coastal regions giving birth to their young during this time. The vibrant city of George is also worth a visit, as it is one of the largest cities in the region and offers a wide range of leisure activities.
Culinary Highlights
South Africa can look back on an eventful history, which is also reflected in the country's varied cuisine. Dutch, British and Indian influences make South African cuisine so varied. A golf trip offers numerous culinary highlights, whether in an elegant gourmet restaurant, at an exciting wine tasting at one of the many wine estates around the Cape or at a traditional braai - the South African barbecue with delicious meat skewers and steaks.
Arrival & Infrastructure on Site
Travelers who want to fly to South Africa to spend a golf vacation or book a cheap golf trip are usually quickest to reach their destination by plane. A direct flight from Germany to South Africa takes around 12 hours. Alternatively, there are also connections with a stopover in Africa, which can extend the travel time to up to 21 hours. South Africa offers an excellent infrastructure, especially in the cities, with numerous restaurants, stores and a well-developed public transport network.
If you want to explore the country individually, whether in the picturesque wine regions of the Cape or in the vibrant cities, a rental car is recommended. It's not just the golf courses that are easy to reach. Spontaneous discovery tours through one of the world's most fascinating travel destinations are also possible. Early booking is particularly worthwhile in order to secure the best offers for an affordable golf vacation.
