We know we craft incredible sports tours but it’s better to hear it from the people that have travelled with us…
Army Medical Corps

What can I say? Hugest thank to all involved. South Africa, and specifically Cape Town, stole our hearts. The tour truly exceeded all of our expectations. Every activity and every interaction with Kevin as our amazing fixer on the ground, and Faisal, our fabulous, dedicated coach driver throughout, were excellent. They both went above and beyond to be flexible and accommodate us.

An absolute pleasure working with your very dedicated team from planning to implementation. I can’t praise Craig Bones Head of Military Sales and Sports Tours team enough for such an amazing tour to South Africa.
