Bakubung Bush Lodge
Tucked in the expanses of the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, Bakubung, or the People of the Hippo, provides guests with the peace and tranquilty of a true bush experience coupled with luxury and first class service.
Golf
Clovelly Golf Club
This relatively short layout, built among sand dunes, rewards accuracy off the tee and provides golfers with scenic views of the False Bay coastline. A 'must play' when visiting Cape Town.

Lost City Golf Course
Designed by Gary Player and carved out of undulating and rocky terrain with wide fairways and receptive greens. This desert style course comes complete with crocodiles, in the water hazard on the par-three 13th hole. The green, shaped to resemble the continent of Africa, is protected by nine bunkers.
Gary Player Country Club
Arguably South Africa's most famous golf course courtesy of its status as host of the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge. The course cuts through the African bush and flanks a nature reserve. The par-five ninth, with its island golfing green, never fails to get the adrenalin going.
