Why go on a rugby tour to Cape Town?

Rugby is hugely popular in Cape Town and we ensure you play the opposition that suits your standard and requirements.

The region is blessed with an abundace of facilities and pitches, so you will have the opportunity to train and play in superb settings.


What makes up a Smile Group Travel rugby tour?

We have years of experience taking rugby tours all over the world, so we recognise the need to blend high-quality facilities, strong match opportunities, and the chance to do plenty of sightseeing. 

Our tours include the provision of professional coaching sessions, access to excellent pitches, and comfortable, safe and appropriate accommodation.

We know the complexities of moving groups of schoolchildren or club members from place to place, and our expert and friendly ground team are always on hand to quickly solve any issues, and keep the tour moving smoothly.

Smile can lay on engaging and exciting day trips to a variety of attractions in the region.

This trip presents the perfect chance to combine a tour of central Cape Town with Stellenbosch, while Smile's ground team can organise amazing excursions to see the area's unique landscape, including Table Mountain.
