Accommodation near Serengeti Golf & Wildlife Estate - 12

The Serengeti Golf Wildlife Estate, named after the renowned Kenyan reserve, was launched to the public in 2006 as Johannesburg’s foremost private lifestyle estate. Here an emphasis is placed on safe community living in a luxurious yet tranquil setting. What makes it all the more ideal is its central location. The estate is close to the economic hubs of both Johannesburg and Pretoria. Now in its last stage of development, the estate is home to some 1700 residences, a retail village square, an exclusive school, and most importantly, two all-encompassing golf courses.

Being the first of its kind in South Africa, the layout of the courses were consecrated by the iconic player and designer, Jack Nicklaus. The 18-hole Masai Mara is home to numerous championships and international golf tournaments. In 2011, it hosted the South African open, a sporting event that was characterised by the nail-biting battle between the highly acclaimed golfers, Ernie Else and Retief Goosen. The smaller ‘Whistles Thorncase’ makes for a good practice session for seasoned pros.

Despite being a far distance from Kenya, the landscape emanates the savannahs of the Serengeti region. Those enjoying a round of golf will be privy to the sights of undulated plains and untamed grass fields. As the level of play is incredibly difficult, a round of golf is geared toward professionals or up-and-coming amateurs. Challenges that present themselves along the way include rugged bunkers combined with multi-tiered greens.

While the courses are the main attraction, the clubhouse is prestigious and attracts both players and non-players. Boasting several lounges, bars, two restaurants and banquet facilities, numerous celebrations and social functions have taken place at the Serengeti Golf Wildlife Estate.
