South Africa Cricket Tours for England Fans
South Africa is one of England’s most popular overseas cricket destinations, and it’s easy to see why. World-class Test venues in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth, stunning scenery, outstanding food and wine, and the opportunity to combine cricket with safari or a coastal break make it an exceptional place to follow England abroad. Sports Tours Plus has been arranging tailor-made cricket tours to South Africa since 2007, and the next England tour of South Africa – three Tests and three ODIs between December 2026 and January 2027 – is now open for enquiries.
Why Choose South Africa for Your Cricket Tour?
South Africa offers a combination that’s hard to match anywhere in the world: world-class cricket at iconic venues, extraordinary wildlife, beautiful coastline, and world-renowned wine regions, all within easy reach of each other. Cheering England at Newlands in Cape Town, with Table Mountain as your backdrop, is one of the great experiences in cricket travel. Add a safari in the bush, a morning in the Winelands, or a few days on the Garden Route and you have a trip that goes well beyond the cricket.

Your South Africa Cricket Holiday: Beyond the Cricket
A tour to South Africa with Sports Tours Plus is designed around far more than just the matches. Depending on where the fixtures take you, we can build your itinerary to include a Big Five safari from Johannesburg, a guided tour of the Cape Winelands from Cape Town, a whale watching trip from Hermanus, a visit to Robben Island, or a few days on the Garden Route between fixtures. Everything is tailor-made; you tell us what you want and we build the trip around it.
