Day 2


Breakfast at the Windsor Golf and Country club and then you will enjoy your first round of golf in this 6751 yards par 72-18 holes.
This golf course is surrounded by lush coffee plantations, flower farms and a lush forest. Abundant wildlife and birdlife continue to thrive in an environment characterized by a well balanced ecosystem, where man, flora and fauna, co-exit idyllically. The course's five tee system adequately caters for all cadres of golfers, from the beginner to the professional. At an altitude approximating 6000 feet above sea level, climatic conditions are near perfect, with the added bonus of the ball travelling further in trajectory, arising from lower air densities. The eighteen hole championship golf course threads its way through coffee farms and indigenous forest. It boasts lush, springy fairways, fast, true greens and a sprinkling of attractive water hazards. At an altitude of more than a mile above sea level the ball does fly further and you may need to adjust of your club selection.
You will have a lunch at the club and then the rest of the afternoon is at leisure to either enjoy another round of golf or make use of the other amenities offered by the club. These include tennis, two squash courts, steam, sauna, heated pool, in-house videos and bird walks to name but a few. The beauty salon also offers beauty treatments. After freshening up, you will depart from the hotel at about 1700 hours and drive through lush countryside and to the elegant and prestigious Lord Errol Restaurant. Upon arrival, you will be met by the host for sundowner before settling down to enjoy a delicious dinner. The food presentation is outstanding and every one of the guests feels pampered and spoilt.
