Beyond the Fairways
Johannesburg
This is a city of culture and history. This leg of the trip offers a taste of urban sophistication before you head to Sun City and the African bush.
Sun City
Where the fun never stops. Experience the thrill of the Valley of Waves, a man-made beach with a wave pool and thrilling water slides. Enjoy a meal at one of the resort’s many restaurants, try your luck at the casino, or simply relax by the pool. The resort also borders the Pilanesberg National Park, a malaria-free reserve where you can enjoy an evening game drive to see the “Big Five” in their natural habitat.
The Lowveld
The Lowveld is about the raw, unfiltered experience of the African bush. After a morning round of golf, embark on a game drive in the Kruger National Park or one of the private reserves. Witness lions on the hunt, elephants on the move, and leopards in the trees. The Lowveld is a place to connect with nature, with an evening spent under a star-filled sky, listening to the sounds of the bush. And then up in the morning for another 18 holes of wonder.
