Three golf estates in the Waterberg Mountain, Zebula Golf Estate and Spa, Euphoria Golf Estate and Hydro and Elements Private Golf Reserve, in Limpopo have joined forces to offer Waterberg Golf and Game packages to the South African market.
The initiative originated from the Golf and Game cluster identified as one of the interventions within Limpopo Provincial Tourism growth strategy.
The aim of the initiative is to expand on the provincial product offering while maintaining the wilderness component that makes Limpopo a unique ecotourism destination in South Africa.
The result has been the collaboration of the three estates to develop and market these packages locally and offer a ‘one-stop’ booking point to ensure ease of booking with one point of contact. The packages include bed, breakfast and unlimited golf-cart hire and use of the driving range. The packages were successfully launched in 2009 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City.
The courses are in close driving distance of each other, with Elements Private Golf Reserve 25 kilometres from Zebula Golf Estate & Spa, and Euphoria Golf Estate & Hydro one hour and fifteen minutes from Elements.
The strategy also includes joining forces with the recently opened Legends Golf & Safari Resort, situated 45 minutes drive from Euphoria, to offer Limpopo Golf & Safari packages internationally.
The appeal of these packages is the golf and game experience, where golfers can enjoy golf on premier golf courses while watching game, followed by a Big 5 Game experience.
The combination of golf and game is unique to South Africa and has been identified as one of the key selling points for the packages.
The standard eight-day package includes two nights at each of the four resorts, with unlimited golf-cart hire and use of the driving range as well as two Big 5 safaris. The launch of the international packages will take place on March 17-19.
