Deep in the heart of South Africa’s Kruger National Park this past Saturday morning, PerryGolf Guests were enjoying a relaxing brunch after a productive morning of safari activities when Gordon Turner – Host of PerryGolf’s “The Best of South Africa Escorted 2017” – asked all the Guests to grab a pitching wedge and a few balls as there was an opportunity to swing a club before Sunday’s tour opener at Leopard Creek.

South Africa has some of the most spectacular golf courses in the world; however your vacation would not be complete without spotting the “Big Five” on safari (Africa’s greatest wild animals – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino). Jock Safari Lodge is a “must stay” for groups looking to experience safari at its best. The world-renowned Kruger National Park consists of nearly 2 million hectares of unrivalled and diverse life forms fused with historical and archaeological sights. Jock Safari Lodge offers many tours and they will do their utmost to ensure you catch the “Big Five” on camera while in South Africa!

One of the reasons why South Africa is a popular destination for our groups – aside of the excellent golf – is to see wild animals in their natural habitat. Kruger National Park is a massive reserve, nearly 2 million hectares in size, which was established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld. Among the diverse animal population are more than 3,000 hippos and 5,000 giraffe. You can see everything (at a safe distance) from the elevated game-watching platforms. The wildlife is so varied and vast; elephants, lions, leopards, water buffalo, antelope, zebra, and wildebeest.
For accommodation, we highly recommend Jock Safari Lodge & Spa which is located right in the heart of the reserve and offers game drives in open Landrovers…what a spectacular way to get even closer to the wild animals!
