DAY 6: Leopard Creek Golf Course
Breakfast and a transfer to the exquisite Leopard Creek Golf course.
Leopard Creek is another of the Gary Player designed course bordering the Kruger National Park, separated by nothing less than the crocodile river. The Leopard Creek Golf Course is, hands down, South Africa’s best safari golfing experience
When you imagine a golf course in this harsh and dry habitat it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the grounds are just as scrubby and arid as its lowveld surroundings but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, no cost has been spared in creating one of the lushest and indeed finest playing surfaces in the country.
The emerald green surfaces and white sculpted bunkers are naturally protected from the resident wildlife through innovative architecture and landscaping. That said, hazards at Leopards Creek certainly take on a new meaning with sightings of crocodile, hippo, antelope, buffalo and elephant being all too common. A dream for the safari enthusiast!

Uniquely located North of Graskop, while standing at this view point you get a beautiful view of the panoramic lowveld. You will be able to view the magnificent Blyde River Canyon
