Cape Town to the mountain gorillas in a single, seamless crossing — six of the continent’s defining places, the golf woven through, and not one wasted day. There is no other trip like it, because there is no one else who builds it.

Why it exists
Most of the world sees Africa as one place. So we built the journey that honours that.
Travellers from America, the Gulf and Australia tell us the same thing: they may come to Africa once. They don’t want a corner of it — they want the Cape and the Falls and the Mara and the gorillas, the whole idea of Africa, done properly and in the right order. Everyone told them it couldn’t be one trip. We made it one trip.
The route
Six places. One unbroken thread.
Travelled, refined and ordered so every day earns its place — from the gentlest possible landing to the most humbling hour in travel.
Table Mountain above the city and the winelands, a clifftop fairway.
01 · Cape Town, South Africa
The fairest cape
Begin at the foot of Table Mountain — the winelands, the ocean, and golf with the Cape’s drama as a backdrop. The gentlest, most beautiful way to land on the continent.
Victoria Falls curtain with rising spray and the Zambezi gorge.
02 · Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The smoke that thunders
The largest sheet of falling water on earth, the spray visible from the air, and a round played on the very lip of the Zambezi gorge.
Into East Africa and the championship clubs of Nairobi, where the thin highland air sends the ball further and the city’s golfing heritage runs deep.
Big cats on the open Mara plains, river crossing in season.
04 · Maasai Mara, Kenya
The greatest wildlife theatre on earth
A private conservancy in the Mara — big cats, open plains, and in season the thunder of the Great Migration crossing the river below your camp.
Gary Player-designed course outside spotless Kigali.
05 · Kigali, Rwanda
The cleanest capital in Africa
A round on East Africa’s only Gary Player design, and a gentle pause before the journey’s culminating hour.
Mountain gorilla family, close and calm in the Virunga forest.
06 · Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
One hour with the gorillas
The trek into the Virunga forest and the hour you will measure the rest of your travelling life against — a family of mountain gorillas, close, calm, entirely unbothered by you. The right place to end.
Two ways to do it
The hosted departure, or the ultimate: private charter.
The same unbroken route, two ways to travel it. Most begin with the hosted departure; a few take the whole continent privately, by air.

The Best of Africa
The full route as a hosted departure — capped at sixteen guests, led on the ground, fixed dates, every leg handled for you.
Private turboprop on a remote bush strip at golden hour.
The ultimate · private charter
The whole route, flown privately
The entire journey by private aircraft — no connections, no airport days, and routings scheduled flights simply cannot reach. Ideal for a family or group travelling together.
The Greatest Africa runs on relationships we have built personally across all six destinations over decades — the conservancy access, the tee times, the gorilla permits, the charter routings. That is why no one else offers this exact journey.
Golfers and the Gallery, together.
The gorillas, the Mara and the Falls belong to everyone in the party. While the golfers play the Cape, Nairobi and Kigali, the non-golfers take the winelands, the spa and the wild.
Every day earns its place.
A journey this ambitious fails the moment it has a wasted afternoon. We have run it, refined it, and cut anything that didn’t deserve to be in it.
One specialist, start to finish.
Six countries, one named person who has stood in each of them — handling every border, bag, tee time and permit, so that you simply travel.
Before you enquire
Common questions.
How much does it cost?
The hosted departure starts from US$21,500 per person sharing, ground only and excluding international flights. The private-charter version, flown entirely by private aircraft, is priced on request.
How long is the journey?
Around 17 to 18 nights, depending on the version and how long you spend in each place. A specialist tailors the length to your golf, your pace and your time with the gorillas.
What’s the difference between hosted and private charter?
The hosted departure travels as a small group on a fixed date, capped at sixteen guests. Private charter flies your party alone across the whole route, removing connection times and airport days and reaching routings scheduled flights cannot — the ultimate version of the trip.
Is it suitable for non-golfers?
Yes. Golfers and non-golfers travel as one party throughout. The gorilla trek, the Mara safari and Victoria Falls are shared by everyone; while golfers play, the Gallery enjoys the winelands, spa or further game viewing.
The journey of a lifetime starts with one conversation.
