Question 1

What measures do you have in place to ensure my personal safety?

Accepted Answer

Your safety is our absolute priority. From the moment you arrive in South Africa until your departure, you'll be accompanied by experienced Savanna Greens guides who know the terrain intimately. Our team will transport you between destinations in premium vehicles and remain with you throughout every golf round and safari activity.

We've designed our itineraries and partnerships specifically with safety in mind, working exclusively with trusted lodges and courses that meet our rigorous standards. If you have specific safety concerns, we're happy to discuss them and explain the additional precautions we take to ensure your complete peace of mind.

Question 2

Should I be worried about Malaria and other insect-borne diseases?

Accepted Answer

Great question! You will note that tours only occur during the winter months when insect load is at its lowest. However, we will be traveling to a malaria area and recommend you talk to a medical professional to determine whether or not you require malaria medication or not.

We will have insect repellent available at your disposal, and all beds are equipped with sufficient mosquito nets for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Question 3

Do I have to book my own flights to and from South Africa?

Accepted Answer

While we encourage you to connect with your preferred travel agent to arrange flights, we’re more than happy to assist with flight bookings for an additional fee.

For your peace of mind and ease of planning, exact pick-up and drop-off times will be shared in your detailed itinerary once your deposit has been confirmed.

Question 4

Do I need a specific handicap to participate?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! While some previous experience is mandatory, all levels are greatly welcomed.

Question 5

How fit do I need to be to participate in the tour?

Accepted Answer

A moderate level of fitness is recommended for the full safari golf experience. You should be comfortable walking approximately one mile, as some courses (like the Gary Player Country Club) are walking-only. While caddies will carry your gear, you'll need sufficient fitness to complete nine holes on foot.

If you have concerns about mobility or fitness requirements, please discuss these with us when booking so we can tailor your experience accordingly.

Question 6

Can I hire a set of clubs?

Accepted Answer

If you want to hire a set of clubs, Savanna Greens partners with a quality outfitter that can suit a set of clubs to suit your playing style.

Question 7

I have a partner who doesn’t play golf, can they still join the tour?

Accepted Answer

Non-golfers are absolutely welcome to join the fun! We are happy to tailor the experience to the individual needs of the non-golfer to ensure they are getting the most out of the ‘safari’ element of the tour.

Question 8

Will I be provided with any gear?

Accepted Answer

Both players and non-players can expect a fresh golf shirt for each course, a branded cap, a lightweight long sleeve shirt for those inevitable chilly mornings, and a sweater for lounging around the lodge.

Question 9

Am I expected to tip?

Accepted Answer

All gratuities are included in your package price, covering local field guides, rangers, lodge staff, caddies, and restaurant staff. You won't need to worry about calculating or carrying cash for tips throughout your journey.

Of course, if someone provides truly exceptional service and you'd like to offer an additional gratuity, you're always welcome to do so.

Question 10

What sort of clothes should I pack?

Accepted Answer

A recommended packing list will be supplied upon reservation.
