Golf tours and safaris in Kruger

ELEPHANTS AND EAGLES GOLF TOURS & SAFARIS WITH MAC WICKER

With just a one hour time difference, we flew non-stop Heathrow to sunny South Africa where we asked Malcom ‘Mac’ Wicker of Elephants and Eagles Golf Tours & Safaris, a local golf tour planner and luxury guest house owner, to tell us why you should be planning to head off to South Africa for your next golfing adventure.

The first point Mac made us aware of was just how affordable a first class golf tour to South Africa really is. “It’s incredible value for money, especially for Europeans” he said.

He went on to say that, “South Africa is blessed with unique courses, fantastic weather, sophisticated infrastructure and super friendly people. After all, where else are you going to have elephants or even lions on the course and eagles soaring above”?

We visited his website to have a look at the courses Mac uses for his exciting, well planned and easy going tours and what we found was something a little unexpected!

Tucked away in Kruger National Park lies a hidden 9 hole gem. After some research we discovered golfers playing the course have, on numerous occasions had to ask the ranger to chase away wild animals off the fairways or greens before teeing off! On the deck back at the clubhouse we shared endless stories of the wildlife that frequents this course.

Starting 30th April till 6th May 2023 is Africa’s longest running amateur golf competition (the 55th), Jock of the Bushveld Tournament. Contact Mac to join the tournament or plan a private golf tour.
