School Rugby Tours to South Africa

Edwin Doran Sports Tours was the first company to arrange sports tours to South Africa after the fall of apartheid. Since 1992, we’ve cultivated vast on-the-ground knowledge and extensive contacts that we use to help players really get under the skin of this vibrant country. From visiting the local charities that we support to exploring the natural wonders of the Highveld and finding perfectly matched competition, our unrivalled networks mean nobody does South African rugby tours better.

The country’s passion for rugby is legendary. In 1995, the newly democratic South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup. The Springboks beat the All Blacks in the final, bringing together a once-divided nation. This momentous achievement now remembered as one of the greatest moments in South Africa’s sporting history, was a watershed moment in the post-apartheid nation-building process.
