the banks of the Sabie River, in the prime game-viewing area of the Kruger National Park.

of historical significance and aesthetic beauty that the southern Kruger has to offer.
Day 2
Embark on a journey through the African Lowveld after breakfast and discover one of the
most spectacular national parks in the world.
Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, its density of permanent game is
unrivalled as it is home to hundreds of different species, including the Big Five. 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 major role in the history
of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets.
Day 3
Head for the fairways of one of the world's most unique golf courses, the Leopard Creek Golf Course.

diverted through the development to create scenic vistas and interesting golf strategies.
Enjoy a ranger guided safari through the Kruger National Park after your round.

The Montagu is a much celebrated parkland course and has been ranked as the
number-one golf course in South Africa in the past.
With a great new opening hole, where you're putting stroke will certainly be tested, a
tough driving hole that demands long tee shots and a wonderful finishing hole, the Montagu is a
challenging yet exhilarating course.

the Knysna Heads. Be sure to enjoy dinner at any of the fantastic seafood restaurants situated on

well as the region's rich past, dating back to the early days of the Dutch and French settlers of the
1600's.
Day 10
Head for the fairways at Pearl Valley Golf Course.
Every hole is played against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains surrounding the
estate and all are challenging due to the bunkers and fast greens. The course has been designed
with the area's prevailing winds in mind. All par 3's and par 5's play in different directions, ensuring
that the same conditions are not experienced too many times in one round.
