Chaka Travel has sampled many of the world's most exotic golf holiday destinations including Mauritius, South Africa, Thailand, Cyprus, Turkey, Malaysia and Dubai. It has earned a reputation as a friendly, efficient and cost-effective operator and has been at the forefront of the development of golfing holidays to Mauritius.

Mauritius

For best value, Chaka recommends the Belle Mare Plage which offers free green fees on its two 18-hole championship courses, the Legend and the Links and also on the nine-hole Gary Player course at the neighbouring St Geran hotel.

Chaka can also provide reduced green fees at the Le Touessrok Golf Course, 15 minutes away. Although the Legend course is not long, it is tricky and has a lot of water.

Prices start from £1,275 for a two-week five star holiday including flights, 12 nights half-board accommodation, private transfers, water sports and activities and golf.

Mixed pairs events

Chaka Travel regularly holds Mixed Pairs holidays that combine a private vacation with friendly, organised competitions and the company of like-minded golfing couples during group dinners. The next event runs from October 5-19 this year at the Belle Mare Plage and costs £1,850 per person, including five competitions and dinners.

International golf tournament

Join other amateur golfers for a tournament at Le Touessrok in Mauritius - costing from £1,550 per person sharing, excluding flights (£2,300 per person single). Le Touessrok is one of the world's leading resorts with an amazing island golf course reached by boat.

The tournament runs from November 30 to December 8, 2008. The price includes eight nights' half-board accommodation, welcome cocktail, dinner, cocktail and gala dinner on Ile aux Cerfs Island, unlimited green fees, golf carts and complimentary tournament gifts.

Combining free green fees with excellent value accommodation and natural beauty, Mauritius is the best long-haul golfing destination.

South Africa

Chaka Travel also has places on its first ever luxury golf coach holiday in South Africa.

The 11-day tour goes from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth with an optional safari add-on. It includes eight rounds of golf and, without the safari, costs £2,500 per person, with a reduction for non-golfers. The tour includes time in Cape Town, the Winelands and the world-renowned Garden Route. Places can be booked individually, in pairs or in groups of up to 12. Guests stay in luxury accommodation, play the greatest courses and are treated to fine hospitality and cuisine. The price includes accommodation, breakfast and evening meal, golf, wine-tasting, whale watching and flights.The coach bar offers free wine, beer and coffee.

Tailor-made

South Africa is one of the best kept secrets in golfing with perfect conditions, the natural beauty of the countryside and diversity of courses.

It also makes a good starting point for a holiday and Chaka can help with suggested itineraries on www.GolfHolidaysinSouthAfrica.com

Dubai

Another amazing golfing destination is Dubai. With great beaches, world class hotels, excursions and iconic golf courses it has something for everybody. Flights are available from most UK cities. Dubai is also easily combined with Malaysia or Mauritius.

Thailand

Mark and Stuart of Chaka Travel recently visited Thailand where they found the standard of the hotels has improved and the golf is better than ever. With its great climate, fantastic scenery and top class hotels, Thailand offers the chance to play a new course every day, many designed by great players such as Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo.
