Some comments from the team
about the tour...

“Brilliant experience of a very beautiful country, lovely beaches, good accommodation and incredible food. Dale has been a brilliant host, but I did feel we travelled too much on the coach and I feel the games could have been closer. Other then that, brilliant time and I would have no hesitation in recommending SA Sports Tours” Jock for Scotland

“I wouldn’t have changed a single thing! Accommodation in Cape Town was adequate – all other venues were first class – even my hut in the bush with an outside toilet overlooking the Rhino’s!! The food throughout was first class, service and hospitality were top drawer. Thanks Dale, all the best for the future!” Peter Mitchell

“We all really enjoyed this tour. Particularly the game farm and Mill Cricket Ground. Dale was a great host and always around if we needed anything. William was well cared for by SA Sports Tours and his “welcome parcel” of goodies was very helpful and appreciated. All in all and excellent trip and very well hosted. Dale not bad for South Africans” Rob & Gill Fisher

Fantastic, amazing, superb! Not sure what else to say. The best two weeks of my life. Dale and his team made it this way. They have done a better than first class job of organising this tour. We have seen so much of this beautiful country and played against some good and hospitable opposition teams. Restaurants, hotels and guesthouses all first class. I give my heart felt thanks and best wished to Dale and his team.” Jeremy Hayward

“Dale,
We have arrived home safely after a long journey, but have so many great memories of our Tour. Words cannot describe the sights we saw throughout the tour, I think your montage of photographs tells the story. The venues, the food, the accommodation the informative/ friendly host made our trip one never to be forgotten, our touch with nature was my greatest memory.” COX’Y

“Having never been to SA before and only a comparison to make with Zim back in 1995 I have to say that the itinerary that you provided gave us the opportunity to sample a variation of SA life that would have not been afforded to the "larger more popular tours". I had a great time in SA from Table Top mountain / Newlands Cricket Ground to a candle lit trip back to my cottage with Picko at Santa Sane knowing the rhino were more than likely to be close by !!!! I found you to be a very knowledgable person who could answer most questions that were posed and at the same time were able to laugh at yourself when we took the piss etc.” Beefy

“Once again many thanks for a wonderful tour.” Steve Garratt

“Both Collette and I had an unbelievably fantastic time. My highlight of the tour was definitely the Giraffes at aSante Sana, although there were so many special memories, Table Mountain, Wine Tasting and some of the cricket. Although the birdies and sunset at Humewood were also legendary. I think Collette's was undoubtedly the stay at Cavers and the horse riding. Thank you so much for giving us an insight into the true South Africa and we will definitely be returning to Gods country.” Jason & Collette

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you guys for making the BPCC Tour such a memorable experience for my Dad, me and the rest of the party. I'm sure all of us (we certainly did) had a wonderful time in your lovely country. Looking back I can't believe just how much we managed to cram in and the memories will live long. I've got over a hundred photographs and about 2 and a half hours of video of the whole 16 days and I'll keep looking at them to remind me of the great times we had.” Derek Pickering (Picko)

"What can I say, Antonia and I would like to first of all thank you all for your time and efforts in making the Cricket Tour as superb success we will remember it as one of the best experiences of our life. Everything we did was different and showed South Africa in many lights including seeing Tweedle Dum(Beefy) and Tweedle Dee(Picko) going of into the bush with there candles at sante sana. As the organiser of it at the UK side, you have all made my life so easy in the excellent organisation of the itinerary ,the cricket games we played and the superb accomodation you arranged for us.
On behalf of us and the British Police i would say thet you guys are the best and would recommend you to anyone in the uk.
Thanks a lot for everything." Mel Dawson

"Just a short note to thank you for your excellent organisation of the British Police cricket tour to South Africa. You left no stone unturned in organising the tour which was a resounding sucess both on the field and off the field. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone requiring a tour to your wonderful Country. Thanks again and keep in touch.

Feel free to pass my e mail on to anyone who would like confirmation of the quality of your tours." Graham Shaw (captain BP cricket team)
