Golf and Safari
with Jock Safari Lodge
Combine wildlife adventures with golf on a championship course. Free transfers to Leopard Creek.
Overview
If you have a dream of a luxury safari within the Kruger National Park and the option of playing a round of golf on a top-ranked golf course or two, then we are delighted to make that your reality.
Jock Safari Lodge offers all golfers free transfers to Leopard Creek Golf Club just outside the Malelane Gate of the Kruger National Park. All transfers are done on a game-viewing vehicle so your transfer is a game drive in itself! Jock is an affiliate lodge to play Leopard Creek, meaning you have access to this exclusive golf course, which has just been ranked the #2 best golf course to play in South Africa.
Highland Gate is a scenic 3.5 to 4-hour drive from Jock Safari Lodge – an ideal opportunity to explore more of what the Kruger and Mpumalanga have to offer. It has become a bucket list course for many local and international golfers and recently moved 6 positions to number 15 on the Golf Digest Top 100 SA Golf Course Rankings. Our Reservations team can assist guests with reservations and routes.
About Leopard Creek
Innovative architectural and landscaping techniques ensure that the Leopard Creek golf course and living areas are naturally protected from animals, while lakes and small streams have been diverted through the development to create scenic vistas and challenging golf strategies. Golfing hazards take on a thrilling new dimension at Leopard Creek, as many of the water hazards are home to the magnificent inhabitants of Crocodile River. In addition to the decorative water features seen throughout, guests can also look forward to the frequent crocodile, hippo, antelope, buffalo and elephant sighting in the Kruger National Park which borders the course.
About Highland Gate
Located only two and a half hours from Johannesburg, nestled in the Steenkampsberg mountain range near Dullstroom, the Highland Gate Golf and Trout Estate boasts the ideal offering for an investor looking to own their piece of nature and have the most sought after Ernie Els signature golf course on their doorstep.
