GENERAL INFORMATION
Rugby Tours to South Africa

The group enjoyed a two-centre tour using Durban and Cape Town as their bases. Each venue offered a variety of pastimes, in addition to a high standard of rugby. In addition to this the group also visited the Mkuzi game reserve which also allowed them to see wild animals in their natural habitat, and was an unforgettable experience of what is South Africa 's most popular attraction.

Durban boasts a sub tropical carnival atmosphere with an endless summer (approx 20 °C) , an effervescent ocean lined with miles of golden sand and a multitude of recreational options. The Golden Mile in Durban offers a variety of restaurants, coffee bars and on a classical note, concert halls, theatres and art galleries. There are also a number of water and theme parks to keep the players occupied.

Cape Town , with its majestic Table Mountain backdrop maintains its reputation for friendly hospitality and is one of the most beautiful cities in the World. A cable car trip up Table Mountain is a must during your stay, whilst a visit to the lively entertainment centre of the restored Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is also popular.
