Take your school rugby team on a tour of South Africa, a country that lives and breathes rugby! South Africa is home to the Springboks, who burst onto the international rugby scene thanks to a victorious home World Cup.
School Rugby Tour to South Africa
When a match is played over here, whole towns and villages come to a grinding halt. The rugby culture in South Africa is also very social – you’re sure to be invited to a traditional braai when taking on local teams!
By staying in Cape Town and Knysna you’ll explore the country’s fascinating history, as well as the breathtakingly beautiful Garden Route, on a school rugby tour your team will never forget!

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).
