Rovos Rail: Golf African Collage Pretoria - Cape Town

Starting from €7.060,00

The Golf African Collage, from Pretoria to Cape Town, traverses the south and northeast of South Africa on a special itinerary. This golf safari is divided into two programs: one for golfers, with numerous days dedicated to playing on some of the country’s best courses, and another for non-golfers, with extraordinary experiences to discover the wonders of the region. From Pretoria, the tour takes in the famous Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe National Park, then through the city of Durban with its botanical gardens, and into the heart of South Africa: passing through Addo Elephant Park and continuing on to the magical Knysna Lagoon, concluding this journey in the mother city of Cape Town.

The trip can also be done in reverse, from Cape Town to Pretoria.
