Golf in the wild (Jan/Feb 2012 edition)
Here’s the deal! I can offer you Tiger fishing, the best game viewing in the world, superb golf (including South Africa’s number one course) and if you bring your passport you can venture into Mozambique and 100km away lies Maputo with its golden beaches and legendary seafood.
INTERESTED?
Then load up the clubs and the fishing gear and head out to the small village of Komatipoort which is situated 450km east of Johannesburg on the border of Mozambique.
Komatipoort gives you easy access to the Kruger National Park, Tiger fishing in the Komati River and the opportunity to play golf at four nearby courses all of which have game roaming the fairways.
