From Cape Town's cliff-top links to Kenya's highland courses, from Mauritius's Indian Ocean escapes to Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls — Africa's finest golf destinations, all within Arikai Africa's reach.
South Africa is the world's premier golf destination by almost any measure. Over 500 courses. Year-round sunshine. World-class championship layouts that have hosted Open Championships, Presidents Cups, and Sunshine Tour events for decades. A lodge and hospitality industry that rivals the very best in the world.
From Leopard Creek in the Mpumalanga bushveld — ranked Africa's #1 course — to Pinnacle Point's cliff-top drama above Mossel Bay, from Pearl Valley in the Franschhoek winelands to Fancourt's celebrated Montagu course, South Africa's golf offering is as diverse as the country itself.
Arikai Africa's home territory. We know every course, every lodge, every tee time. This is where our reputation was built.
Kenya offers golf unlike anywhere else on earth — played at altitude, surrounded by extraordinary wildlife, in a landscape that shifts from highland forests to savannah plains to Indian Ocean coast within a few hours' drive. Nairobi's courses sit at 1,600–2,100 metres above sea level, meaning the ball travels further and every round feels effortless.
Karen Country Club — named after Karen Blixen — is one of Africa's great golf institutions. The Great Rift Valley Golf Club offers views that make it virtually impossible to concentrate on your swing. On the coast, Vipingo Ridge combines championship golf with Indian Ocean beach luxury.
Pair any Nairobi golf itinerary with a Masai Mara safari — the world's greatest wildlife spectacle — for the definitive Kenya golf and safari experience.
Mauritius is the ultimate Indian Ocean golf escape — a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs and turquoise lagoons, where world-class championship courses sit within minutes of some of the finest beachfront hotels on earth. Golf and beach. Tee times and sunsets over the Indian Ocean. This is what a golf holiday in Mauritius looks like.
Ile aux Cerfs — played on its own private island, accessible by speedboat — is golf as pure theatre. Heritage Golf Club at Bel Ombre is a world-ranked Ernie Els design within one of Mauritius's premier resort estates. Paradis Golf Course at Le Morne offers oceanfront holes that rank among the most scenic in the world.
Mauritius is a natural add-on for South African golfers — just 4 hours from Johannesburg, with Air Mauritius and South African Airways offering direct daily services.
Zimbabwe is Africa's best-kept golf secret. A country that has produced some of the continent's finest golfers and some of its most unique golf experiences — from the manicured colonial-era greens of Royal Harare to the extraordinary setting of Elephant Hills Resort Golf Course, where you play in the shadow of Victoria Falls and monkeys make regular appearances in the fairways.
Leopard Rock Hotel & Golf Course in the Vumba Mountains of the Eastern Highlands is a world unto itself — dramatic mountain scenery, a beautifully preserved colonial-era hotel, and a course that winds through indigenous forest. It is the kind of experience that makes Africa's golf scene irreplaceable.
Zimbabwe is easily combined with Zambia (Victoria Falls straddles the border) and with South Africa via Johannesburg connections. Costs are among the most competitive of any African golf destination — extraordinary value without compromising on experience.
Every destination on this page is part of the Arikai Africa portfolio — meaning we have direct relationships, competitive rates, and the local knowledge to make every journey exceptional. Tell us your dream, and we'll make it real.
