Africa is a continent of extremes, from vast, arid deserts of the north to lush jungles and savannahs in the center, to the mountain, wine country and coastal areas of the south. Golf in Africa can be just as varied, with more than 800 courses spread across the huge landmass, many of them in isolated areas.
To ramp up the appeal of golf in Africa, consider this: many of the courses are either associated with or very close to huge game preserves, places to see the famous Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.
