DAY 2
Play golf this morning at the platinum rated Wild Coast Sun Golf Course.
This centerpiece of the Wild Coast Sun casino & leisure resort was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr and is a treat for the uninitiated. Hole after hole offers sights and challenges which catch the breath, for we have few venues as beautiful and none more dramatic. Plunging, zig-zaging fairways, elevated viewsite tees, a waterfall filled chasm and a meandering lagoon are all part of the recipe. This 5 807m/ par 70 course offers challenges within the scope of golfers of all standards. Golf carts are compulsory and included in the rate.

DAY 3
Check out of The Estuary Hotel and transfer to The Selborne Hotel, Spa and Golf Estate for your 2 night stay on a B & B basis.

Play golf today at the Selborne Golf Club.
Dubbed the "Augusta" of South Africa, it uses the natural topography to good effect with water coming into play on 13 holes.

DAY 4
Play golf this morning at the gold rated San Lameer.
This course opened in 1992 and was designed by Peter Matkovich. The layout winds through pristine coastal flora and tastefully constructed villas, its fairways clad in a strain of cynoden called Sahara, a grass which provides an excellent playing surface and which complements the large, undulating Country Club-grassed greens. There is certainly an interesting blend of holes on this tight, compact layout, all memorable and all capable of frustrating the player who throws caution to the wind. The 5 834 m / par 70 course has dense bush and an abundance of water but offers the golfer a pleasing experience.

DAY 5
Check out of Selborne and transfer to the Midlands for your 2 nights stay at Granny Mouse's Country House on a B & B basis.

Venture through the Midlands Meander: Southern Africa's favourite arts and crafts, pubs and restaurants route.

DAY 6
Play golf this morning at the silver rated Sakabula Country Estate.
Nestling in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands, Sakabula Country Estate is a unique combination of agricultural smallholdings and a golfing estate. It is easily accessible and came into being after 12 lush farms were amalgamated. The par 73 layout is an interesting combination of holes. A good quality country course with stunning views of the Drakensberg mountains, the water features and stands of trees demand one's full attention while playing.

DAY 7
Check out of Granny Mouse's Country House and transfer yourself to the Durban North Coast where you will be staying in Ballito at the luxurious Zimbali Lodge for 3 nights on a B & B basis.

Zimbali Lodge is a luxurious 5* boutique hotel cradled in the pristine and protected Zimbali estate of stunningly beautiful lakes, wetlands and sub-tropical forests. Circled by the magnificent 18 hole golf course and enjoying spectacular views, Zimbali lodge epitomizes elegance and opulence. The luxurious bedrooms are of African- classical architecture each symbolize traditional values imbued with sophistication and style. Each air-conditioned en-suite, balconied room also enjoys a dedicated and personal butler service.

DAY 8
Play golf today at the prestigious platinum rated Zimbali Country Club.
Designed by Tom Weiskopf, the layout is a subtle blend of the classic and contemporary and is complemented by its unspoilt sub-tropical coastal surroundings. The layout includes both an open "links-like" feel on the opening holes, with some of the last holes sweeping through forest and across wetlands, giving off a "coastal parkland" feel. It is 6524 metres and a par 72 course. Golf carts are compulsory and included in the rate.

At Zimbali Lodge, enjoy a game of tennis; splash in the pool; be pampered in the beauty salon or browse through the logo shop. The Zimbali Forest Estate is nature's own wilderness and home to a variety of wildlife.

DAY 9
Play golf this morning at the platinum rated Durban Country Club.Length: 6104 m; Par 72. A mere 35 minute drive from Zimbali Lodge, this platinum rated golf course is situated north of the city centre with views over the Indian ocean. Its pedigree is unmatched: it has hosted more SA Open Championships than any other courses and is the only course to routinely appear in various ranking of the world's top 100. Durban CC is very compact with the premium being on accuracy. Dense tropical scrub lines the fairways as well as the severely undulating, dunelike terrain which serves to seclude the holes offering the golfer tranquility. The course offers golf year round with the winter months being best. Short "character" par 4's are offset by more demanding two-shotters. The par-5 3rd hole is among the finest worldwide.

DAY 10
Check out of Zimbali Lodge and travel North into the Hluluwe area to one of Africa's greatest destinations, Phinda Private Game Reserve. You will be staying at the outstanding Phinda Forest Lodge for 3 nights on a fully inclusive basis.

Phinda Private Game Reserve is situated in one of Africa's most ecologically diverse regions and borders on the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, a world heritage site. The 15 000ha reserve comprises of 7 distinct habitats, including the unique sand forest.

DAY 11 & 12
Enjoy the activities and facilities available to you at Phinda. Experience an early morning or late afternoon game drive through the reserve; go canoeing or rather opt for the river cruise. I would also highly recommend a guided day visit to the beach for some snorkeling or swimming with the dolphins - definitely an experience never to be forgotten and a really fantastic way to end you fabulous trip.

DAY 13
Check out of Phinda Forest Lodge and make your way to Durban International Airport for your connecting flight home.
