Overview
Follow England to South Africa on our Cape Town cricket tour, fully hosted by cricket legend Mike Gatting.
From the Winelands to Cape Town, you'll join the former England Captain in combining Test match cricket with exceptional hospitality, luxurious accommodation and a series of exclusive events 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 with 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 luxurious One&Only Cape Town on the lively V&A Waterfront. Just 20 minutes away, you'll be transferred to Newland Cricket Ground for the next five days to experience cricket at its most picturesque. From the comfort of our private hospitality suite, you'll watch every run, six and wicket of England's Cape Town Test against South Africa in the company of Mike Gatting, with the stadium opening up in front of you, framed by Table Mountain – one of cricket's most iconic views!
Not only will you watch the cricket unfold with Mike by your side, but you'll also be invited to our signature State of Play event on day two, where the former Ashes winner will be joined by special cricket guests to share his 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.
