Cricket Tour to South Africa
The itinerary put together by Edwin Doran was tailored to our needs in wanting to play as much high-level cricket as possible, while fitting in as many different activities in the Western Cape area as possible. I can’t speak highly enough of how this tour was put together and the support that we received throughout.
The Rainbow Nation has long been a wonderful place to play cricket with the first match recorded to have taken place in 1808!
Edwin Doran Sports Tours was the first company to arrange sports tours to South Africa after the fall of apartheid. Following South Africa’s readmittance to world cricket in 1991, the Proteas (previously known as the Springboks) adapted quickly to the high level of competition found on the international stage.
Since 1992, we have cultivated vast on-the-ground knowledge and extensive contacts to help your cricket players really make the most of their time in South Africa. From visiting the local charities that we support to exploring the natural wonders of the Highveld and finding perfectly matched competition, our unrivalled networks mean nobody does South African sports tours better.
Support and safety
From the minute you choose to book one of our sports club tours, we provide all the support you need, helping you promote your tour and offering round-the-clock assistance while you’re away. We require that all accommodation, transport and excursion suppliers meet our high safety standards and all of our tours are fully bonded by IATA, ABTA and ATOL, protecting your group against unforeseen events.
