Belvedere Polo Holidays
World-class Polo in a stunning location (3-6 per group)
Belvedere also now offers South African Polo Holidays at one of the most beautiful Polo Clubs in the world. With professional coaching within a close reach of Cape Town, you’ll also find world-class facilities and spectacular views there, in the heart of wine lands.
The main Professional Polo Coach has a wealth of international and local experience in schooling, coaching and playing, and is an expert and enthusiastic coach who enjoys passing on his knowledge to interested students of all ages and abilities. He is particularly passionate about improving riding skills: - if the horse accounts for more than 75% of the game, it logically follows that improved horsemanship and control will get you to the ball more often. “It’s the easiest way to increase your handicap, not to mention your enjoyment!”

The focus is on low-goal “Lifestyle” chukkas, ideal for practicing and perfecting skills learnt during lessons. Students are also encouraged to accompany the umpire during some chukkas, offering a whole new perspective to the game! After chukkas there is always time for “post mortem” discussions. The regular local players range in handicap from -1 to 2 goal players.
Lifestyle Polo offers players of different levels the opportunity to enjoy the King of Sports.
