South Africa — Curated for Canadians
Hunt the Bushveld. Play the Fairways.
Bespoke hunting and championship golf experiences across South Africa, curated for Canadian sporting groups.
The Concept
Two pursuits. One extraordinary trip.
Most sporting trips ask you to choose. We refuse the compromise. Bushveld Fairways pairs world-class big game hunting with championship golf on the same itinerary — because the men who do one well tend to do both.
The Hunt
Africa's finest plains game, on your terms.
Four distinct regions, each with its own terrain and trophy species — from Limpopo's classic thorn savanna to the red-sand Kalahari. Professional hunters who know every ridge, every spoor.
We handle the SAPS Form 520 firearm import process. You arrive and hunt.
The Fairways
Championship courses with a view you won't find at home.
Jack Nicklaus links in the Eastern Cape. The notorious "Extreme 19th" at Legends in Limpopo. Durban Country Club — ranked inside the world's top 100. These are not resort courses.
South Africa's winter is Canada's summer. Play in perfect 22°C conditions while the home courses are under snow.

How the Days Run
Two kinds of day. Both worth the flight.
Hunting days and golf days don't overlap — each deserves the full commitment. A typical 12-day trip runs five or six of one and four or five of the other, with travel days in between.
A Hunting Day
Pre-dawn to after dark
Camp is dark and cold. Strong coffee, a quiet brief from your PH on the morning's approach. No phones.
On foot at first light. The PH reads the wind, the trackers read the ground. You follow and learn to move slowly.
If conditions are right you'll be at 80 metres, prone, waiting for the animal to clear. This is where hours of walking pay off in thirty seconds.
Return for a full breakfast. The trackers handle the field work. You sit in the shade and eat eggs.
Heat of the day. Sleep, clean the rifle, write notes, or do nothing. The bush asks nothing of you between noon and three.
Animals move again as the air cools. A second chance or a different species — your PH decides based on what the morning showed.
Bourbon on a flat rock somewhere scenic. Non-negotiable. The PH picks the spot.
Back at camp. Kudu steaks or whatever came off the land that day, over real coals. The kind of meal that doesn't translate into a story.
A Golf Day
Relaxed start, late finish
A proper sit-down at the lodge or resort. No rush — you're not hunting today. The course is twenty minutes away.
Early slot before the heat builds. Caddie assigned, local rules explained. The course is nothing like home — wider fairways, harder greens, stranger bounces.
Lunch at the clubhouse. Cold Castle Lager. Replay the round in detail. Complain about the greens. Book a second round for tomorrow.
Swim, nap, or take the short drive to a viewpoint. Some courses have spa facilities. You're not obligated to use them.
Optional. If the first round exposed something, the range is usually empty in the late afternoon. The light at this hour is worth the session alone.
Resort restaurant or a local spot your consultant has arranged. South African wine list. An early night if you have another 06:00 tee time tomorrow.
Itinerary structure varies by region and outfitter. Your consultant will map the exact sequence once we know your group size and target species.
