Cape Town alone offers an incredible experience, especially as it will be the only destination to ever host the world cups of football, rugby and cricket plus netball in 2023! Aside from enjoying superb sporting facilities and great excursions, trips up Table Mountain or to Robben Island give geographical and historical perspective to the destination and a stay at a nearby game lodge will add a sense of discovery to this African adventure. Whether you want pro-training or a simple and relaxed week away, Cape Town has it all.
Rugby - World Cup winners in 1995 and 2019, South Africa has produced some of the all time iconic players so what better way then to face-off in a competitive matches aganst local schools.

General FAQs
Please pick up the phone and give us a call. We have years of experience organising trips abroad and we’ll be happy to run you through the do’s and don'ts of organising a trip away. If you want further professional assistance, then we can put you in touch with a Snowsport England qualified instructor, you can also attend a SCO (Snowsport Course Organiser) day.
The basic ratio is 1:10 for flight tours and 1:8 for coach trips. However, if your group requires a different ratio, we will work with you to ensure that you get what you need. This may include extra free places of calculating a separate tour price for any paying passengers.
Pupils will drop in and out of the trip. It happens. For those groups travelling by coach, we won’t ask for pupil details until very close to departure so pupils can swap in and out and the financial element of this can be organised internally. For those travelling by air, low cost airlines ask for names on booking so any change of passenger is likely to require a name-change fee which we would add to the final balance.
If pupils continue to add on, then this is fine subject to availability with the hotel and transport companies. The flight price may be higher if pupils add on months after the original booking and we will tell you what the cost is before you commit.
If pupils drop out, then unfortunately some fixed costs such as coach hire or instructors will be spread over a lower number and so your price may have to increase. However, this will never happen without a full discussion and we will work with you to limit any impact
