Orbis Expeditions Launches Charitable Golf Foundation to Drive Grassroots Development and Youth Upliftment in Africa

Orbis Expeditions is proud to announce the launch of the Orbis Golf Foundation, a new charitable initiative that combines the love of the game with a powerful social mission. This innovative program uses group expedition travel as a fundraising platform to support the grassroots development of golf and the social upliftment of disadvantaged youth across Africa.

 

Play With Purpose: A Global Call to Golf Clubs

In launching this foundation, we are issuing a challenge to golf clubs across the UK and around the world:

Organise a fundraising golf expedition to South Africa—play on some of the most iconic golf courses on the continent, experience the Big 5 on safari, and leave a lasting legacy through your club’s contribution to golf development and youth empowerment.

From Cape Town to the Kruger, your club will tee off at world-class courses surrounded by breathtaking scenery and unmatched hospitality—all while supporting projects that give aspiring young players access to coaching, equipment, facilities, and mentorship.

Golf That Gives Back

Each expedition will include:

• A tailored 9–12 day itinerary combining elite golf experiences and immersive safari adventures
•  
• Opportunities to visit grassroots golf programs supported by the Foundation
•  
• Meaningful engagement with local youth, coaches, and communities
•  
• A built-in fundraising component, with proceeds directly supporting development initiatives
•  
• Full logistical support from the Orbis Expeditions team

Why It Matters

Golf is more than a game—it’s a vehicle for opportunity. In many parts of Africa, talented young people face enormous barriers to participation. The Orbis Golf Foundation aims to remove those barriers, helping to level the playing field and create new pathways to personal growth, education, and future careers in the game.

Be the Club That Makes a Difference

We’re calling on club captains, golf societies, and corporate groups to rally their members and take part in this impactful new movement.

If your club is ready to combine world-class golf, epic adventure, and real-world impact, then the Orbis Golf Foundation is your next big story.
