Hereunder follows examples of some of the itineraries that we can offer – again a reminder that we will tailor-make any tour to suit you, whether it is fully guided, partially guided, a self-drive or just staying at one of the many golfing estates, we will do it all for you. These below are just a sample of what can be done and to give you some idea of what’s on offer and possible. Remember, these are just examples, we will tailor make any tour to suit you.

Tour Example: 8-Day Wildlife and Pretoria

Day 1
We collect you from the Airport or from your overnight accommodation in Johannesburg and travel through Highveld industrial, mining and agricultural areas. (Alternatively we can collect you from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in Nelspruit). Our guide will make this section interesting, adding value with his interpretation of the local history and sights. The scenery is pretty flat but changes as we approach the Drakensberg Escarpment where we drop down to the Lowveld through scenic passes. This Drakensberg Escarpment area is really beautiful and has scenic vistas over the Lowveld of the Kruger National Park. We will visit the Panorama Escarpment and some of the view-sites such as God’s Window, Blyde River Canyon, Berlin and Lisbon Waterfalls, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, etc. There are many and varied accommodation options to choose from in this region.
Day 2
Tee off is after breakfast at the White River, Sabie River or Nelspruit Courses. After the round of golf and some time for relaxation, we visit the Sudwala Caves or the Nelspruit National Botanic Gardens before returning to the overnight destination.
The caves are believed to be about 2 000 million years old and contain not only stalagmites and stalactites, but also the fossilized remains of 'collenia' a form of algae that it is believed life on earth evolved from. These 'stromatolites' were alive when the earth's atmosphere was composed of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Rugged, rocky, river scenery is the perfect, spectacular setting for Nelspruit's main tourist attraction, the Lowveld National Botanical Garden, situated in the heart and at the hub of Mpumalanga. The 159 ha garden straddles the Crocodile and Nels Rivers. Viewed from the air, it is clear that the two rivers dominate the scene and determine the character of this garden. The Crocodile surges through a narrow, solid rock gorge that has been scoured out and pot-holed over millennia, while the Nels River tumbles down a waterfall from the west, to converge with the Crocodile in a serene pool on a bend in the river.

Day 3
The tour departs after breakfast to the Kruger National Park. At Skukuza nine holes are played on the Skukuza Course. The course is not fenced-in and uninvited spectators are a common sight - hippo, impala, warthog and baboons to mention but a few. This course offers the pleasure of challenge and adventure.

Day 4
The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million hectares is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies. Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets.

Day 5
Today it’s a full day of game viewing in the Kruger Park with your guide.

Day 6
After an early breakfast we leave the Kruger National Park and make our way to the Hans Merensky Golf Course, situated just outside the border of the Kruger. The course has continually rated amongst South Africa's finest for many years. It offers the golfer a unique setting in the bushveld and wildlife sightings while playing are a common occurrence. This evening we will stay in the Dullstroom area. The village, situated at 2100m above sea level in the Steenkampsberg range, dates back to the early 1880's, when Dutch settlers came to the area. The town derives its name from one Wolterus Dull, chairman of the Dutch immigrants. The "stroom" (stream) refers to the abundance of water in the area: the Crocodile River, which runs through the Kruger National Park, has its origin in Dullstroom. Other major tributaries have also become synonymous with some of the best trout fishing in the country. The area is known for its cool, sub-alpine climate and its misty atmosphere, reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands. It is also known as habitat for the three endangered cranes in South Africa, a vast variety of wild flowers and rare species of mammals - a true paradise for the nature lover.

Day 7
Breakfast is followed by a journey to Pretoria, the South African capital. After some time for freshening up at the hotel, tee off is at the Silver Lakes, Woodhill or Wingate Park Courses.

Day 8
On this last day we tee off at the Pecanwood or Irene Courses. Thereafter you are transferred to the Johannesburg International Airport for your onward flight.

MORE: You may want to extend the number of days that you spend here, or stay at one of the very good lodges within the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve and have an additional day or two of extra golfing. Should you wish to play a round of golf whilst here, you would have to forgo either the morning or the afternoon game drive. There are a number of stunning lodges in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve which is renowned for having the best Big Five game viewing in South Africa, if not the world. Nowhere in South Africa will one find a wildlife experience quite like the one experienced within the Sabi Sand Reserve. Sharing a 50km unfenced border with the Kruger National Park, this immense (65 000 hectare/ 153 000 acre) and diverse tract of land is home to The Big Five and much, much more. Two perennial rivers supply the game reserve with a valuable water source. The Sand River flows through the reserve for 50km (31 miles) from north-west to south-east whilst the Sabie River flows on the southern boundary. The sustenance of these rivers ensures that this area enjoys one of the highest and most bio-diverse wildlife populations of any area in Africa.
Wildlife viewing here is second to none. The Sabi Sand Reserve enjoys good quality viewing of leopard (the most elusive of predators), as well as elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and a vast variety of antelope and other species.
Open safari vehicles, seating between 4 and 10 visitors each (depending on the lodge chosen), head out into the wild under the expert guidance of experienced rangers and insightful trackers. Guests are able to get in close contact with Africa's most exciting wildlife species, and are presented with unparalleled photographic opportunities. Early morning safaris head out as the sun rises and as the bush stirs to life. The ranger and tracker teams search for animals by tracking their spoor, and by listening for the tell-tale signs of activity. The bush has its own language, and it is fascinating to watch those who possess the tools to encode it. Late afternoon safaris commence as the sun burns its way towards the horizon. The animals are now getting more active, many preparing for the great hunt after dark. After sundowners, the drive continues with the aid of powerful spotlights that reveal nocturnal species in another world. On average, approximately six hours a day or more are spent out in the bush on safari. Most of these lodges follow the Wildlife Safari format: arrive for lunch on the first day. Check in and orientation and introduction to the bush, then out on a game drive from about 15h30 or 16h00. Sundowners are enjoyed in the bush. Return after a period of night driving where the nocturnal species are searched for by spotlight. These drives are in open Land Rover safari-type vehicles. The driver is an experienced guide who will make the drive more interesting. A tracker sits in front and follows the animals, often off road to secure sightings that are often really close and clear. Early next morning you are awakened at dawn, tea/coffee and rusks are served and out on a game drive again, returning to breakfast. After breakfast there is an opportunity to go on a guided walk in the bush with an armed ranger. This usually focuses on the tracks, insects, birds and the smaller animals. Alternatively relax at the lodge. Many have a lovely outlook into the bush and possibly a water hole at which a variety of animals visit during the day. Lunch and then the cycle is repeated with the afternoon safari game drive. On your last day there would be the early game drive, followed by breakfast after which you would depart.
Should you wish to play golf whilst here, you will have to forgo either the morning or afternoon game drive.
