Cape Winelands Golf & Safari
Jack Nicklaus Golf Among the Vines, Cape Town, Then a Malaria-Free Big Five
Overview
For golfers who love good wine and grand scenery, this is the Cape at its finest: championship golf among the vineyards of the Cape Winelands, the sights of Cape Town, and a malaria-free Big Five safari to finish. You play Pearl Valley — a Jack Nicklaus Signature course framed by the Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains — and the vineyard layout at De Zalze near Stellenbosch, with time for wine estates, Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula, before heading into a private malaria-free reserve for lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo.
The Cape Winelands, an hour from Cape Town, are among the most beautiful golfing landscapes on Earth — manicured fairways running between vineyards and blue mountains, with a cellar door never far away. You stay on a winelands estate, dine on the region's celebrated food and wine, and take in Cape Town's headline sights. The safari finale is in a malaria-free Karoo or Eastern Cape reserve, so this cultured Cape journey ends with the drama of the Big Five — no anti-malarials required.
Who It's For
Made for golfers travelling with wine-loving, scenery-loving partners, for honeymooners who want golf, romance and safari, and for anyone combining Cape Town and the Winelands with a genuine, malaria-free Big Five finish.
