South African Golf Tours - Lion

11 Day Lion Standard Golf Tour: (8 South African Golf Courses)
On this exciting tour we managed to blend the ultimate safari into a golf tour, or vice-versa! We shall take you to prime game areas and give you unparallel game viewing opportunities while the core of the tour is still golf. As far as game and wildlife viewing are concerned, this must be the premium of all tours. We’ll spend time in Kruger National Park; arguably the best managed Game Park in the world. Here we are the guests in the animals’ domain. We’ll also visit the Pilanesberg Game Reserve adjacent to Sun City. The African animals and scenery is the theme of this fantastic tour.
