Day 12
Breakfast followed by a round of golf at Leopard Creek Golf Club with return transfers. This exclusive course has been created as a private club, with no expense spared.

Designed by Gary Player with input later from none other than Jack Nicklaus, the course is African bush golf at its very best. Bordering the Kruger National Park near Malelane, the immaculate fairways meander through indigenous bushveld while the many water features on the course are home to crocodiles and numerous bird species. Several other species of game have been introduced onto the estate, including giraffe and various buck. But it is the animal after which the estate is named that takes pride of place and, although sightings are extremely rare, bronze statues of this stately predator are to be found at each tee.

The course has a number of very special holes, but the par-five 13th must rank as the feature hole. Measuring 520m, it has a green constructed on tons of steel and concrete that overlooks the Crocodile River and the Kruger National Park beyond. The par-three 16th can be a monster with its extensive carry over water - certainly not for the faint hearted.

An afternoon to recover and relax! Overnight Malelane Sun on a Bed & Breakfast Basis

Day 13
A leisurely breakfast before your private transfer to Nelspruit, for your flight to Johannesburg and the onward overnight flight back to the UK.
