A specialist Golf Destination Management Company headquartered in South Africa — engineering extraordinary golf journeys across the continent for discerning travellers and trade partners worldwide.
We are not simply a tour operator. We are architects of extraordinary African journeys — built for discerning travellers who demand excellence at every touchpoint. From the first enquiry to the final round of golf, Arikai Africa manages every detail with precision and passion.
Arikai Africa is a specialist Golf Destination Management Company (DMC) headquartered in South Africa. Our mandate is clear: to position Africa as a world-class golf travel destination and to deliver experiences that transcend expectation. We serve individual golfers, golf societies, corporate clients, travel agents, tour operators, and destination tourism boards across Africa and Europe.
We combine deep local knowledge with world-class standards of service — matching the calibre of the properties, courses, and lodge brands that Africa has earned on the global stage.
Whether you're a luxury lodge, a destination tourism board, a travel agent, or a golf society — Arikai Africa is your trusted African partner.
The only continent where you play championship golf in the morning and track the Big Five in the afternoon. Our signature combination of world-class fairways and authentic wilderness experiences is what Africa does better than anywhere on earth.
Mauritius, Seychelles, and the Kenyan coast offer a rare fusion of turquoise waters and championship golf. We design journeys that capture both worlds — luxury beachfront escapes paired with courses that rank among Africa's finest.
Our knowledge is lived, not learned from a brochure. We know which tee time catches the light perfectly at Leopard Creek. We know which lodges deliver on their promise. This intimacy with Africa is our greatest differentiator.
Every itinerary is architected from scratch. No two journeys are alike. We design multi-day, multi-destination golf experiences that marry the finest courses with the best lodges, transfers, and tee times — all priced and proposed within 48 hours.
Our signature combination. Play the Montagu at Fancourt and track leopard at Sabi Sands. Tee off at Leopard Creek — Africa's ultimate meeting point of golf and wildlife — with hippos and crocodiles patrolling the 13th fairway.
From Cape Town to Nairobi, from the Winelands to Victoria Falls — we engineer seamless routing across multiple African countries, handling every flight, transfer, and logistical detail so your clients experience only the magic.
The trusted ground operator for international travel agents, tour operators, golf societies, and destination management companies. We handle the African leg of any journey — comprehensively, professionally, and with full accountability.
From intimate 20-player corporate golf days at Steyn City to full-scale golf tourism conventions and incentive travel programmes, we design and deliver unforgettable events that combine world-class golf with African hospitality.
Transfers, tee times, airport meets, VISA facilitation, golf equipment logistics, caddie arrangements, tournament scoring, accommodation, and 24/7 in-destination support. We manage everything so nothing interrupts the experience.
The only continent where you can play championship golf, track the Big Five, and relax on a turquoise Indian Ocean beach — all in the same week.

Africa's most celebrated golf and safari destinations — we operate across eight countries and the Indian Ocean islands, connecting discerning golfers to the continent's finest experiences.
Our knowledge is not academic — it is lived. We grew up on these fairways, we sleep in these lodges, we know which sunrise at which course will leave your client speechless. That cannot be faked or learned from a brochure.
Every property, every course, every lodge partner passes our rigorous curation process. We operate in a luxury market where a single disappointing experience damages trust irreparably. We hold our partners to the standard we promise.
We do not have a brochure. Every itinerary is designed from scratch — around your group, your budget, your timeline, and your vision. The result is always a journey that could not have been made for anyone else.
Our clients are discerning. They have seen the world. They choose Africa because it offers something truly irreplaceable — and they choose Arikai because we understand what luxury actually means in the African context.
South Africa is home, but Africa is our territory. We operate confidently across 8+ countries and the Indian Ocean islands — giving our partners the widest possible canvas for extraordinary African journeys.
Our partners are relationships, not transactions. We invest in understanding your clients, your brand, and your goals — and we grow with you over time. Long-term alignment is the Arikai Africa model.
We listen. Your brief, your client's vision, your timeline. Within 24 hours we acknowledge your enquiry and begin crafting your journey.
Within 48 hours, a fully bespoke, priced itinerary lands in your inbox. Detailed, visual, costed — ready to present to your client.
Every booking, tee time, lodge stay, and transfer confirmed with our direct relationships — no third parties, no gaps, no surprises.
24/7 in-destination support throughout. Not a call centre — your dedicated Arikai Africa contact, available when it matters.
