SUGGESTED
ITINERARY
Day 1: Depart London Heathrow on South African Airways direct
overnight flight to Johannesburg.
Day 2: Arrive Johannesburg, you will
be met and transferred to Sun City Resort, nestled deep in the rugged
bushveld, in the heart of an ancient volcano. Sun City is set in the
stark ruggedness of the North West Region of South Africa, and is surrounded
by mountains and the untamed majesty of the African bushveld. It is a
wedge-shot away from the Pilanesberg National Park, where elephants,
rhinos, lions and antelope roam freely. 5 Nights Sun City Cabanas breakfast
included.
Day 3: Golf at The Gary Player Country Club; acknowledged as
a difficult and demanding course, it has been home to the Nedbank Million
Dollar Golf Challenge since 1981. The comparatively flat nature of the
golf course is misleading - water hazards, cunningly sited bunkers and
pins hidden away on kidney shaped greens makes up for the lack of gradient.
With pristine perfect kikuyu fairways and excellent bent grass greens
the course is kept in perfect condition all year round. PM: Evening game
drive. Adjoining the Resort, is the beautiful Pilanesberg National Park,
which will delight game viewers as it is a malaria free zone and home
to the Big 5 lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo and a variety
of antelope can be seen at close quarters. Specialist guides will ensure
guests experience a true African Safari aboard a specially equipped 6-seater
Landcruiser. You may be lucky to be a silent witness to a Lion kill,
as antelopes graze unsuspecting of the danger lurking in the volcanic
landscape. Amid the hills far from the Maddened Crowd, you might catch
a glimpse of the elusive rhino as they wander unrestricted and free.
Day 4: Golf at the Lost City Golf course; the rich green fairways give
a dramatic contrast to the bushveld backdrop and the barren waste bunkers
are a special feature of this intriguing course. The desert style design
of the golf course has an exotic allure all of its own and designer,
Gary Player has acknowledged it as one of his favourite courses. No effort
was spared to make the course a masterpiece with some of the most spectacular
African views to be had on a golf course.
Day 5: Morning game drive into
the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Balance of your day at leisure for you
to enjoy the many facilities the resort has to offer.
Day 6: Golf at
Gary Player or Lost City.
Day 7: Morning at leisure, you will be collected
and transferred back to Johannesburg Airport for your return flight to
London.
