[introduction] => A 10-day wildlife and cricket tour to South Africa's Western Cape to enjoy up to five days of Test Match cricket between England and South Africa and the abundant wildlife of the Cape Peninsula.

The Republic of South Africa lies at the southernmost tip of the African continent, flanked to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and to the south and east by the Indian Ocean. It shares borders with Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. South Africa, with its young democracy, has been aptly named the ‘Rainbow Nation’ – referring to the colourful combination of ethnic cultures and peoples who live in this land of scenic contrasts.


The country’s natural diversity is no less spectacular, with habitats ranging from the dry Kalahari Desert to the tangled subtropical forests and coastal wetlands of KwaZulu-Natal. The towering peaks of the Drakensberg, vast savannahs of the Kruger National Park, and unparalleled richness of the Cape Floral Kingdom all add up to produce one of the most beautiful and biodiverse countries in the world.

options. Satara is mid-range and popular on account of the abundance of Lions in its vicinity. Its accommodation is comprised of round, thatched chalets known as ‘rondavels’, each with en suite facilities. There’s a wide choice of routes in the area, all offering excellent birding and game-viewing.
