Combine your next school rugby tour with a famous sporting pilgrimage in South Africa

Combine your 2021 long-haul school rugby tour with the opportunity to witness one of the most iconic sporting events. Why not join our tours in South Africa and watch the cream of the crop from the northern hemisphere take on the best of the Rainbow Nation whilst testing your school's sporting pedigree and prowess in one of the most beautiful settings on the planet. South Africa offers a unique and unrivalled challenge both on and off the field and there seems no better way to prepare for yourself for the 2021 season whilst also having the chance to watch the very best the northern hemisphere have to offer against the SA's strongest provincial teams.

Internationally agreed as the toughest place to gain a victory, our rugby tours to South Africa guarantee redolent memories for life in a land that is second only to New Zealand for 100% rugby dedication. Twice winners of the Rugby World Cup in 1995 and 2007, local South African competition is a perfect challenge for your team to play against.

Seemingly built of granite, players here provide an unrivalled physical test. Add to that a reputation for fast and flowing rugby and you have got a schedule that is demanding to the word and guaranteed to test every sinew as you snake through this majestic country.

Is there a better land for R&R activities? From an overnight safari to diving with sharks, the adrenaline continues to pump as you explore the provinces, each competing with each other for innovation and sheer value for money. Everyone loves it here and you'll seldom want to return home from a school rugby tour to South Africa.

Not just that, but your pupils will have the chance to make their impact off the field with 'social impact', charity and philanthropic ventures away from the rugby. MSG Tours will facilitate the chance for students to make a very real difference through our partnerships with 'Waves for Change' in Muizenberg or by giving something to those less fortunate than ourselves in local townships through coaching and education initiatives.

This trip will have everything: the ultimate rugby test, the chance to see the northern hemisphere's best players embark on a sporting challenge like no other, cultural experiences that will live with you forever and the chance to change students' lives forever through your tour planning and leadership.

With schools already registered with MSG for 2021 tours, our forthcoming inspection trip (likely summer 2019) takes in the regions of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Sun City, Port Elizabeth, the Garden Route and Cape Town whilst giving teaching staff the opportunity to complete all required internal health and safety criteria.
