If you’re looking for a short getaway, one which involves the sun and perhaps some sand or even a mountain or two, then look no further than the beautiful golf courses that are in your backyard or may be just a short flight away from where you are in East Africa. 

 

East Africa has some beautiful golf courses, surrounded by breathtaking views, great accommodation and friendly service, all combined to provide you with a short, or long, getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.  Some of these amazingly beautiful courses are:

 

Zanzibar - Sea Cliff Resort & Spa

 

 

The only golf course in Zanzibar is situated here at the Sea Cliff Resort – a beautiful 9-hole design overlooking the ocean. This course provides players of all levels with a fun and challenging test, set in an environment which would be described by many as “paradise”. What better way to spend part of your visit – be it leisure or business on this stunning layout, enjoying the best the island has to offer.

 

Arusha, Tanzania - The Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate 

 

 

The Kilimanjaro Golf Club is situated on 1,040 acres of prime African bush land, nestled between Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru and is the main feature of the estate, consisting of the first 18-hole championship golf course.

 

Why not take in a safari while you are there as Arusha holds the door to numerous world famous national parks, including the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

 

Nairobi, Kenya – Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club

 

 

For all golf enthusiasts, Windsor offers a challenging but pleasant 18 Hole championship golf course. This undoubtedly is one of the best golf courses in Kenya.  It threads its way through coffee farms and indigenous forests with high and low terrain, giving it character and design quality.

 

Kampala, Uganda - Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa

 

 

Located only 30 km from Kampala, the golf course here is rated among the best courses near Kampala and sits on some 83.5 hectares of prime lakeshore land.  The presently nine holes – with 18 tees – are being expanded to a full 18 holes and work towards that is ongoing. However, the nine already pose major challenges to golfers as the tight fairways, aligned along ponds and lake inlets, are demanding and the slightest mishit will feed the balls to the fish or frogs.
