Do not miss out on the limited tours that we offer based around some of the matches in Rustenberg, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg.
We have already secured the accommodation for these tours and believe that these tours are unique to any other tours being offered around this very exciting series. Because of the great demand for accommodation and tours around this time, we will unfortunately only be able to reserve on a “first come, first served” basis, and will, also understandably, request an immediate 25% non-refundable deposit payment to secure your place on the tour of your choice.
