Golf Destination
Bushveld golf and malaria-free safari
The Waterberg combines scenic bushveld golf with malaria-free safari, mountain landscapes and relaxed lodge stays. Within driving distance of Johannesburg, it is well suited to golfers looking for an easy-going golf and wildlife escape without the need for internal flights.
April to September generally offers the most comfortable conditions for golf and safari, with dry weather, sunny days and cooler temperatures. Winter mornings and evenings can be cold, particularly in the higher parts of the Waterberg. From October to March, the region is warmer and greener, with afternoon showers and thunderstorms more common during the summer months. Golf and safari are possible throughout the year, with the best time depending on your preferred weather and overall itinerary.
