After an overnight flight to Cape Town, your cricket holiday begins in South Africa’s ‘Mother City’. You will be greeted and transferred to your chosen Cape Town hotel. Enjoy four days exploring the city, and spend five days at the South Africa v England Cape Town Test.

Get settled into your chosen hotel before heading out for a relaxed afternoon. Perhaps enjoy a glass of wine at a waterfront restaurant, check out one of Cape Town’s many trendy cafés, or laze around on Camps Bay or Clifton Beach.

Witness five days of world-class Test cricket at Newlands, arguably the most beautiful cricket ground in the world, where Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak provide a majestic backdrop for this iconic stage.

Staying in Cape Town, with transfers to Newlands each day, you can really immerse yourself in the atmosphere of international cricket at this breathtaking setting.

Breakfast

If you can rise early after the cricket, you may like to begin your day by heading to the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, for the five-minute ride to the summit, 1067 metres above the city. From here, on a clear day, you will be able to take in the views of Cape Town, Table Bay and the Atlantic coast.

Whilst at the top of the mountain you can access a number of walking trails through the Table Mountain Nature Reserve, enjoy some refreshments at the summit café, as well as relax and take in the views. You can choose to walk down, or take the easier return cable car.

After descending, why not make your way to Camps Bay, Cape Town’s premier summer destination? The white sand beach has a tidal pool for safe swimming, and is lined with trendy restaurants, cocktail bars, and beach cafés.

This morning, we suggest making your way along the V&A Waterfront to the ferry port for Robben Island. Give yourself around 3 or 4 hours for the crossing and guided tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years. Many of the tours are accompanied by former political prisoners who can share their personal stories of resilience.

After your ferry returns to Cape Town, you could spend the afternoon exploring Bo-Kaap, the historic and colourful Cape Malay Quarter, and the Castle of Good Hope, before returning to the V&A Waterfront.

If you would like to pre-book a tour of Robben Island before your travel, just ask.

This morning you will be collected for the drive into the Winelands area of the Western Cape. Boland Park in the town of Paarl is hosting the first of three One Day Internationals between South Africa and England, and you will have tickets allowing you to follow all the action.

This match marks the build up to the 2027 Cricket World Cup that will be hosted by South Africa so both teams will be anxious to make their mark in the 50 over format.

After the match you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cape Town for your final night in South Africa.
