What our customers say about us

We know we craft incredible military tours to South Africa, but it’s better to hear it from the people who have travelled with us…

Army Medical Corps

Hockey Tour to South Africa

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.

Adjutant General's Corps

Volleyball Tour to South Africa

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. With Craig being ex armed forces, he clearly understood our needs and requirements and introduced us to some amazing people in country. We would really recommend Craig and the team for any tours overseas.

Army Rugby League Women

Rugby Tour to France

A fantastic trip organised at short notice for a competitive price. All participants enjoyed and received great feedback.

Our most popular rugby tour destination combines a real love for the sport with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to explore wildlife and work with local communities.

Edwin Doran Sports Tours was the first company to arrange sports tours to South Africa after the fall of apartheid. Since 1992, we’ve cultivated vast on-the-ground knowledge and extensive contacts that we use to help players really get under the skin of this vibrant country. 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 rugby tours better.

The country’s passion for rugby is legendary. In 1995, the newly democratic South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup. The Springboks beat the All Blacks in the final, bringing together a once-divided nation. This momentous achievement now remembered as one of the greatest moments in South Africa’s sporting history, was a watershed moment in the post-apartheid nation-building process.
