Sports Tours to Cape Town
From its beginnings as a stop-off for Dutch trading ships in the 17th Century, Cape Town has grown to become South Africa’s favourite tourist destination. With attractions like the awe-inspiring Table Mountain, the infamous Robben Island and the Cape Peninsular National Park – home to an African penguin colony - it is easy to see why.
“The Rainbow Nation” is a premier destination for touring teams of all ages, combining breathtaking scenery, enthralling history and modern facilities in one unique package. Since emerging from apartheid, South Africa has emerged as a world class host of sporting events including the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the 2003 Cricket World Cup and the 2010 Football World Cup.

Sports Tours to South Africa
Visiting teams are guaranteed challenging fixtures in South Africa, where sport is seen less as a pastime and more as a unifying force. Race, language and politics become irrelevant when a national team wins and the Rainbow Nation celebrates as one. This was never more apparent than during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which South Africa won on home turf. Following the final, Nelson Mandela wore the No 6 shirt of team captain Francois Pienaar - a white Afrikaner – and the two shared a heartfelt embrace, a gesture that served to heal old racial wounds across the country and set the tone for the nation’s sporting teams to this day.
South Africa is a beautiful place and an ideal location for nearly any sports tour. There is plenty to do to fill your spare time between fixtures and the choices are endless when it comes to organising your evening activities.

Addo Elephant National Park Based 70km north-east from Port Elizabeth the park is ideal for a one-day trip, with the chance to see these majestic beasts in a safe environment. You can get close enough to touch the elephants! However we wouldn't recommend it and if you would like to carry on throwing balls in the future, we suggest you keep your arms and legs safely inside the car. |
