Golf & Safari Holidays
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Africa Golf & Safari is PTS Bonded (No. 5806), meaning your money is fully protected. All bookings are financially secure, and every deposit is safeguarded. This is your assurance that you can book with complete confidence.

Africa is a year-round destination. The best time depends on your chosen country. Generally, May to September offers dry season wildlife viewing in Southern Africa, while the UK winter months (November to March) are excellent for golf in South Africa and Mauritius with warm, sunny conditions. We'll advise on the perfect timing for your specific itinerary.

Visa requirements vary by nationality and destination. UK and EU passport holders typically do not need a visa for South Africa for stays under 90 days. Other countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia may require visas, which can often be obtained online or on arrival. We provide full visa guidance as part of your booking.

South African golf courses welcome players of all levels. Many courses require an official handicap certificate (typically 28 for men, 36 for women), though some courses accept recreational players. We'll match courses to your ability and preferences, from championship layouts to more forgiving parkland courses.

Absolutely. Many of our tours cater to mixed groups. While golfers enjoy world-class courses, non-golfers can explore wine estates, spas, game reserves, and local attractions. Our itineraries are designed to offer something for everyone in your party.

We offer a range from comfortable 3-star guest houses to luxurious 5-star hotels and lodges. Standard packages use 4-star properties with the option to upgrade or regrade. Safari accommodations range from permanent lodges with en-suite bathrooms to intimate tented camps that bring you closer to nature. Every property is personally vetted.

Packages typically include: car hire (luxury sedan), all green fees for 18 holes, shared accommodation with breakfast, and all safaris where applicable. We can arrange driver-guides for escorted tours, and upgrade options are available for every component. A full detailed itinerary is provided before booking.
