With so many nationally ranked golf courses in Charleston, SC, golf is a huge attraction in the area. Some of the best courses are located in Mt. Pleasant and Kiawah Island, but you’ll find plenty of options throughout the Charleston area. In fact, there is at least one golf course in 12 of the 16 Charleston areas. Total, Charleston boasts 22 public and private courses and 13 golf course communities. Most golf courses in Charleston are open to the public and don’t require you to live in the golf community to play. However, there are a few courses on which you can only play by proof of residence or by invitation from a resident.
Homes in Charleston golf communities generally offer large common areas and better than average amenities, such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and club houses. Homes on a golf course in Charleston start in the mid $200’s and go up to several million dollars.
If you’re looking for resort-style living in a golf community, Wild Dunes Resort, Seabrook Island, and Kiawah Island would be good areas to start your real estate search. These areas have multiple golf courses (some of which are beachfront), and they offer some of the finest amenities in all of Charleston.
Mt. Pleasant is also home to three nice golfing communities – Dunes West, Charleston National, and Rivertowne Country Club. On James Island, Country Club is adjacent to the Country Club of Charleston, and it’s considered the only golfing community on the island. Hope Plantation on John’s Island is another option, and it’s also the only neighborhood with a golf course on the island. Daniel Island is set up a little differently in that residents from any of its communities can become members of its golf club.
More affordable options for living in a Charleston golf course community are Shadowmoss Plantation in West Ashley, Coosaw Creek in North Charleston, and Crowfield Plantation in Goose Creek. Also, Summerville has Legend Oaks Plantation as well as Wescott Plantation. The last option for Charleston golfing communities is Stono Ferry in Rural West Ashley, which is by far the most rural area of Charleston with a golf course.

Rainforests, riverine forests, mopane and teak woodlands, and the Zambezi River system are home to thousands upon thousands of varying species, making Toka Leya Camp an ideal place to enjoy fantastic game-viewing, outstanding walking safaris, birding, fishing, and much more.
The Camp's premier location allows you to observe a wide spectrum of large game from the comfort of Toka Leya's sprawling deck. View giant herds of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and impala or enjoy sightings of the Zambezi River's most spectacular creatures including the Nile crocodile and hippo. A bird lover's haven, the Livingstone area also boasts trumpeter hornbills, Schalow's turaco, African finfoot, half-collared kingfisher, African skimmer, and rock pratincole.

Toka Leya Camp offers twelve roomy tents with African safari décor that relaxes and stimulates the senses, a sprawling deck with one of Africa's most pristine and stunning backdrops, an infinity pool, and dining, lounge, and bar areas perfect for relaxing, socializing, and sipping cocktails.
* Sussi Lodge: Become closer with nature than ever before at Zambia's Sussi Lodge, located in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Just how close to nature is the Sussi Lodge? Built into living ebony trees situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, the Sussi Lodge's twelve lavish tree houses make it one of the most unique places to stay in the entire world.
The Sussi Lodge does an excellent job of fusing luxury with an authentic African experience. Since many of the Sussi Lodge's amenities are open-air, you have the freedom to completely immerse yourself in the surrounding African bush and soak in the pleasures of Africa's natural world. The lodge's ideal location in the middle of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park provides constant opportunities for guests to observe indigenous birds, wild-game, and stunning scenery.

Properties to Consider In South Luangwa
* Puku Ridge Camp: Overlooking South Luangwa National Park's Kakumbi Dambo floodplain, Puku Ridge Camp was fittingly named after one of the floodplain's primary residents, the puku antelope. In addition to the puku antelope, the camp's ideal location boasts stunning scenic views, and the opportunity to constantly observe a wide spectrum of wild game and migratory birds.
Built purposefully to blend into South Luangwa's riveting natural surroundings, the Puku Ridge Camp's six elegantly decorated and intimate canvas safari tents each overlook brilliant views of the floodplains, consist of en-suite facilities including indoor and outdoor showers and bath, and three-quarter or king size beds. Each spacious tent also includes a private deck where tea and coffee is served each morning.
Puku Ridge Camp celebrates excellent rates with a variety of all-inclusive elements. Rates include two game-viewing activities per day, (choose from game drives, night drives, and walking safaris), park entry fees, three meals a day and beverages, complimentary laundry service, and airport transfers.
When choosing between which game-viewing activities to do each day, remember that each excursion boasts different characteristics than the others. Game drives are an excellent way to experience the varying terrains of South Luangwa while viewing exceptional game up close, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, and zebra. During night drives you get the chance to observe nocturnal animals, and view the different behavior patterns of animals you spot during the day.
Although game drives and night drives are a wonderful way to become familiarized with South Luangwa's natural surroundings, walking safaris are arguably the most popular activity to enjoy while on a Zambia safari trip. Walking safaris allow you to truly immerse yourself into Zambia's nature and learn about the rich fauna and flora of the area. Expert, licensed guides bring you into an exciting realm of discovery and mystery. You work side by side with the expert to uncover hidden creatures and search for wild game, including lions and cheetahs. Learn about the various animal prints, and callings that will help you find large game. Along the way, you'll discover a side to nature you've never seen before.
