Africa & Oceania
For groups that want something genuinely unfamiliar
South Africa and New Zealand offer distinct sporting cultures and landscapes for groups ready to travel further. Each itinerary is built around your interests and dates.
Africa & Oceania
What travel in Africa & Oceania actually looks like
These are our longest and most ambitious itineraries. The flights are serious, so we build twelve to sixteen days rather than seven, and we plan the trip so the cost of getting there is repaid in what your group actually sees.
South Africa is our most requested destination in the region: rugby and field hockey at a high standard, Cape Town and the Garden Route, safari country, and a history that gives student-athletes something substantial to think about. New Zealand brings rugby and netball culture, cities and landscapes across both islands. Activities and fixtures are tailored and confirmed for your group.
Because these trips involve more moving parts, we plan them further out — twelve months is comfortable — and we staff them carefully on the ground.

Signature experiences
What groups remember from Africa & Oceania
Wildlife and landscape
South African wildlife and landscapes, or New Zealand's South Island, where appropriate for your itinerary.
Sport at a different standard
South African rugby and field hockey, and New Zealand's rugby and netball cultures, with fixtures subject to availability.
History that lands
Robben Island and District Six in South Africa, or New Zealand's cultural heritage — with visits shaped around your group.
Service, done properly
Where a group wants a service component, we work with established local partners rather than staging photo opportunities.
Practical planning
Before you commit to the region
Honest constraints, so the trip you approve is the trip you get.
Trip length
Plan twelve to sixteen days. A seven-day long-haul trip spends too much of itself in transit to justify the airfare.
Lead time
Twelve months is ideal. Group air, permits, park access and fixtures are all harder to secure late in this region.
Documents & health
Entry and health requirements depend on nationality and the exact route. We brief every traveler in writing.
Seasons flip
Southern-hemisphere seasons are inverted — the American summer is South African and New Zealand winter, which affects both sport and wildlife viewing.
How it works
Four steps, and we carry most of the weight
Most organizers have never planned an international trip before. That's normal — and it's our job, not yours.
01
Tell us about your group
A short conversation with the coach, teacher, administrator or parent organizing the trip. Goals, timing, group size, travel experience and budget.
02
We design your trip
We recommend destinations that actually fit, then build one or two tailored proposals with a day-by-day itinerary and per-person pricing. You give feedback; we refine until it's right.
03
Your group registers and prepares
We open registration and handle payments, documents and traveler questions directly, so you're not chasing forms. Fundraising and contribution support is available if you need it.
04
Travel and experience it
Group flights, transfers, hotels, guides, matches and activities are locked and staffed. You coach and enjoy the trip; we run the logistics.
