From the beautiful city of Cape Town with it's stunning setting, great beaches and countless attractions right the way up to the world famous safari experiences of The Kruger National Park, there is so much to do in addition to the golf that most visitors feel that 2 weeks is really the minimum length of trip to try and sqeeze as much as possible in.

George Golf Course It is important to remember that South Africa's seasons are broadly the opposite of those in Europe and North America. For some parts of the country, around Cape Town and The Garden Route for example, this means that waterproofs and umberellas are adviseable from May to September and suncream and hats are the order of the day for the rest of the year.

Outside of Cape Town and the Garden Route seasonality is a bit less of an issue, and you can read more details about the South Africa's climate here.
