A specialist Golf Destination Management Company born on the continent we love — operating across 10 African countries and the Indian Ocean islands.
Arikai Africa was founded with a singular conviction: that Africa's golf and safari experiences are among the finest in the world, and that the continent deserves a DMC capable of presenting them with the care, precision, and passion they deserve.
We are not a general travel company that occasionally books golf. We are specialists — with the deep course knowledge, trusted lodge relationships, and logistical expertise that only comes from years of operating at the highest level of African golf tourism.
Headquartered in South Africa, we draw on a network of partnerships that spans from Cape Town to Cairo — and through our strategic alliance with Golf Africa Safaris in Ireland, we connect the best of European golf tourism directly to Africa's finest experiences.
The name Arikai is rooted in the spirit of African identity — a celebration of the continent's diversity, beauty, and extraordinary capacity to inspire. Where every journey is an experience. Where every experience becomes a story worth telling.
Leopard Creek, Fancourt, Pinnacle Point — these are not consolation prizes for travellers who couldn't get to Scotland. They are genuine world-class golf experiences that deserve to be spoken about in the same breath as Augusta or St Andrews.
From scratch players chasing their best round to 36-handicappers on the trip of a lifetime, Africa has something profound to offer every golfer. We design for all of them — with equal care and equal passion.
The right tee time. The right lodge room. The right caddie who knows where the pin is on the 18th. The cold towel after the round. These are not extras — they are the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one.
We do not process bookings. We build relationships — with our partners, with our clients, with the courses and lodges we represent. Long-term trust is our most valuable asset, and we protect it in everything we do.
We are advocates for this continent. We believe deeply in its potential, its people, its courses, and its capacity to change the way the world thinks about golf travel. That conviction drives us every day.
We have never sent a client a brochure. We never will. Every proposal is built from scratch — around the specific group, the specific brief, the specific vision. Templated travel is not our business.
Through our strategic alliance with Golf Africa Safaris — based in Ireland — Arikai Africa is directly connected to the European golf tourism market. Golf Africa Safaris is one of Ireland's most respected golf tour operators, with deep relationships across the European golf travel trade.
This powerful partnership means European agents, golf societies, and luxury tour operators have a seamless, single-point-of-contact experience from Dublin to Johannesburg — and beyond. One relationship. Two continents. Infinite possibilities.
Arikai Africa partners exclusively with properties, courses, and operators that share our commitment to excellence. We are selective because our clients are discerning — and because our reputation is built on delivering what we promise.
If you are a travel agent, tour operator, DMC, or luxury lodge looking for a trusted African golf partner, Arikai Africa offers:
Every itinerary designed from scratch. Multi-day, multi-destination, or single-venue — each proposal is a document we'd be proud to send to anyone in the world.
