Choose South Africa for your next school hockey tour and you’ll experience a vibrant nation that is passionate about all sports, including hockey. Your team will explore South Africa’s magnificent culture whilst building on their sporting experience and confidence.
School Hockey Tour to South Africa
Stay in Johannesburg and Cape Town, taking on local opposition of a similar standard as you go. When not on the field, you’ll visit some of South Africa’s most iconic sights, including Robben Island and Table Mountain.
You’ll even have the opportunity to visit a township and discover the reality of life there. For a school hockey tour to broaden your students’ horizons, you’d be hard pushed to beat South Africa.

Accommodation
Konka Camps
Stay in lodge-style accommodation for a real African experience! Here you’ll see plenty of wildlife roaming about, but that’s not the best bit. This accommodation has a huge range of sporting activities available on-site, including rugby and football pitches, netball courts, and hockey and cricket fields. Not to mention the high ropes, obstacle courses, hiking, swimming and kayaking opportunities also on site! Each lodge has its own bathroom, TV and air-conditioning.
Lady Hamilton Hotel
This lovely pink-hued hotel lies in the shadow of Table Mountain, in the lush Gardens district of Cape Town. Here, you’ll enjoy the peace of the suburbs and the convenience of the city centre, which is just 5-10 minutes’ walk from the hotel. All rooms feature en-suite bathrooms and a view over either the city or Table Mountain itself. You’ll also have fabulous views of the mountain out by the stylish swimming pool. There’s also an on-site restaurant, where you can help yourself to a delicious buffet breakfast. Dinner is also available at the restaurant and is also served buffet-style, with plenty of salads, roasts, curries and stews – so there’ll be something to please even the fussiest of eaters!

Supporting you every step of the way
Creating your perfect sports tour
Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in school sports tours and will know the destination really well too. They’ll work with you to create a tour to suit your group’s needs and meet your tour objectives.
Launching your tour to parents and students
The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.
After you’ve booked
Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).
Support while you’re away
While you’re out on tour, we’ll be at the end of the phone 24 hours a day to provide support should you need it. We’ll also send you a final info pack before you go and you’ll be able to access all your tour documents via the free Vamoos app.
After your trip
When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
