Rugby Tours to South Africa

Internationally agreed as the toughest place to gain a victory, our rugby tours to South Africa guarantees 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 on near consistent hard terrain when playing in the northern Gauteng region. The Western Cape offers a little respite in terms of surface but nothing is given away in the contact zone. Add to that a reputation for fast and flowing rugby and you’ve 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 adrenalin 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 sports tour to South Africa.
