Cape Town, a city celebrated for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and unbridled passion for cricket, recently played host to the Betway SA20 ICT cricket tour.
As our clients have made their journey back to the chilly UK, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, painting a picture of their unforgettable journey.
The tour not only captivated them with thrilling cricket action but also their visit was enriched by Cape Town‘s beauty and diversity, leaving lasting memories and stories to share.
The adventure kicked off at the Radisson Red V&A Waterfront. Praised for its prime location and spectacular views, it served as the perfect base for guests to explore Cape Town and its cricketing highlights.
The historic Newlands Cricket Ground and scenic Boland Park venues acted as the guests’ homes away from home, where they witnessed the electric energy that brought together local and international cricket talents.
But Cape Town is more than just cricket!
Cape Town: A traveller’s paradise
The city, with its majestic Table Mountain backdrop and Robben Island’s historical echoes, offered an unparalleled blend of leisure and exploration. Day trips around the Cape Peninsula revealed the raw beauty of Cape Point and the tranquil beaches that dot the coastline.
Meanwhile, the journey through the Cape Winelands was a feast for the senses, with wine tasting sessions introducing the guests to South Africa‘s exquisite viticulture.
Stephen Cave and Michael Davies, our valued clients, spoke of the uniqueness of combining their passions for cricket and travel, and the exceptional service provided by tour leaders Thomas and Chris.
“Being few in number, it was more intimate, and we could get to know more about the country,” Stephen said. This small-group approach not only heightened the excitement of the cricket matches but also allowed for a deeper connection with the local culture and landscapes.
Michael, on the other hand, was pleased to combine his passions for cricket and wildlife.
“The use of a V&A Waterfront Hotel was a good move since it is the most utilised destination in Cape Town,” he said.
Big games and big game
The adventure didn’t end at the cricket grounds or the wine farms. For those extending their stay, the Gondwana Game Reserve presented a thrilling opportunity to encounter Africa’s majestic wildlife. This add-on to our journey brought guests face-to-face with Africa’s majestic wildlife, adding an exhilarating chapter to their Cape Town adventure.
Reflecting on this journey, it’s evident that Cape Town offers a unique blend of experiences for the travelling cricket enthusiast. From the adrenaline-pumping matches of the Betway SA20 to the serene beauty and adventure of Cape Town’s surroundings, every moment was a discovery – a celebration of the spirit of cricket and the beauty of South Africa.
Thanks to our dedicated team at One Turn Travel and our partnership with ICTours, we’re grateful for the opportunity to create such experiences, where passion for cricket serves as the perfect excuse to explore the world’s wonders.
