Overview

Rovos Rail Golf Safari

Step aboard the Pride of Africa and surrender to one of the most extraordinary journeys in the world - the nine-night Rovos Rail Golf Safari that winds through the magnificent northeastern reaches of South Africa and the Kingdom of eSwatini, where championship fairways meet untamed wilderness. Designed to captivate the most discerning golfer, this carefully crafted itinerary delivers a remarkable collection of world-class courses — from the legendary Gary Player and Lost City courses at Sun City, set against the volcanic hills of the Pilanesberg, to the mountain splendour of Champagne Sports Resort in the Drakensberg, the classic elegance of Durban Country Club, the royal fairways of Royal Swazi Sun, and the Ernie Els-designed Highland Gate in the misty highlands of Dullstroom. Each round is played in spectacular surroundings, with Rovos Rail serving as your private five-star hotel on wheels, whisking you effortlessly between destinations while you dine on gourmet cuisine and unwind in luxuriously appointed suites.

Yet this journey is so much more than a golf tour. For non-playing Rovos Rail guests, an equally rich and immersive programme awaits — game drives through Pilanesberg, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and the iconic Kruger National Park, a poignant visit to the Spionkop battlefield, a cultural tour of Durban's botanical gardens, a visit to the artisans of Swazi Candles, a flyfishing presentation at Walkerson's Hotel, and an introduction to whisky distilling in the charming highland village of Dullstroom. Whether you're wielding a nine-iron or a camera, the Rovos Rail Golf Safari promises a seamless fusion of sport, safari, history and luxury — an African adventure unlike any other, unfolding one magnificent landscape at a time.
