SOUTH AFRICA
Visit the ‘Rainbow Nation’ for a Unique Rugby Tour Experience.
Rugby tours to South Africa provide the perfect blend of stunning scenery, gorgeous beaches, intriguing culture, and a high quality rugby environment. South Africa has an abundance of excellent sports facilities, and high quality local school opposition keen to provide a warm and welcoming reception for touring teams.
The most popular tours are centred in Cape Town and the Eastern Cape, which benefits from a fantastic year-round climate, combined with so many things to do and see including the historically important Robben Island, iconic Table Mountain, beautiful Camps Bay, and the penguins at Boulders Beach. Alternatively tours can be be tailor made to include Johannesburg, taking in Pretoria and the famous Kruger Park, whilst some groups may like to take in and even a short stay in Swaziland for a unique cultural experience.
For those after some warmer weather, a visit to Kwazulu Natal region, including city of Durban, experiencing a Game Drive, and staying at one of the spectacular game reserves that South Africa is famous is an experience that will always be remembered.
