 TENNIS
Tennis is played throughout South Africa, mostly on all-weather
hard surfaces. There are many clubs with top-class courts
and facilities throughout the cities. Nearly all major schools
play tennis, and most farming communities have tennis clubs
with four or five courts with wonderful clubhouse and change
room facilities.
For many small communities, tennis is a way of life and
much social interaction revolves around the tennis club. The
farmers are incredibly hospitable towards visitors. A tennis
tour need not be restricted to any particular area of the
country as tennis is played everywhere, allowing us to offer
you a tour package in which you can experience all aspects
of our great country.
We have two great Tennis Tour options:

Although named the City-to-City Tennis tour because
it moves between the two coastal cities of East London
and Port Elizabeth, much of this tour takes in the rural
interior of the Eastern Cape. This is a malaria free
area with a large number of privately owned game reserves
teeming with indigenous game. We have hand picked a
number of active and enthusiastic tennis clubs around
the Eastern Cape, with top class facilities, to ensure

from all weather hard courts to clay. Tennis is played
at the War Trail Tennis Club in Barkley East in the
most exquisite setting in the Drakensberg Mountains,
to the Wheatland’s Club near Graaff-Reinet with
its vast plains of Karoo vegetation and grazing springbok.

of experiencing an area of South Africa that has long
been underrated as a tourist destination. Tennis clubs
