Follow England to South Africa on our Cape Town cricket tour, fully hosted by cricket legend Mike Gatting.

Based in the heart of 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.

Staying at the luxurious One&Only Cape Town on the city's lively V&A Waterfront, you’ll be perfectly placed to enjoy both the city and the cricket, and 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, cultural discoveries or bucket-list experiences. Think trips to Boulders Beach to walk with penguins, scenic tours up to Table Mountain, or even day trips to explore more of 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 will take the time to understand your travel style and tailor the perfect holiday to you.
