Overview
Follow England to South Africa on our Cape Town cricket tour, hosted by cricket legend Mike Gatting.
From the Winelands to Cape Town, you'll combine the best of Test match cricket with excellent accommodation and a series of exclusive events hosted by Mike Gatting that make this tour a standout trip for any discerning cricket fan.
Beginning with a pre-cricket stay in the famous Cape Winelands, you'll stay at the elegant Lanzerac Hotel & Spa, sampling the best of South Africa's wines on a private, hosted vineyard tour and plenty of time to soak in the tranquil landscapes. It's here you'll also ring in the New Year with cricketing royalty, as you join Mike Gatting for celebrations at our New Year's Eve Gala Dinner in the heart of Stellenbosch.
Looking forward to the week's cricket, you'll transfer to Cape Town, staying at the InterContinental Table Bay on the lively V&A Waterfront. Just 25 minutes away, you'll be transferred to Newlands Cricket Ground for the next five days to experience cricket at its most picturesque. From your premium Grandstand seating, you'll have exceptional open-air views of the action for England's Cape Town Test against South Africa, with Table Mountain rising behind the ground – one of cricket's most iconic views!
Not only will you enjoy the cricket each day, but you'll also be invited to our signature State of Play event on day two, where Mike Gatting will be joined by special cricket guests to share expert insights on the action so far.
There's so much to experience in Cape Town, so should the cricket be cut short by an early England victory, you can rest assured we'll adapt your tour to fit in some extra sightseeing, culture or bucket-list experiences. Think trips to Boulders Beach to walk with penguins, scenic tours up to Table Mountain, or even day trips to the Winelands.
Of course, if you'd like to extend your holiday to include even more of South Africa's gems, be that a full Garden Route experience with whale watching at Hermanus, a luxury safari in Kruger National Park or following England's ODI Series in Paarl and Bloemfontein, our Travel Specialists can tailor your South Africa exploration precisely to you.
