We recently embarked on a Rugby Tour to South Africa with our senior boys, and the journey curated by Petrus at IntoAfricaSports was simply remarkable. From encountering The Big Five in their in natural habitat to marveling at the panoramic views from the summit of Table Mountain, every experience was truly unforgettable. Playing at Hamiltons RFC, the oldest rugby club in South Africa, added a historic dimension to our trip. I cannot commend Petrus enough for his exceptional tour organisation and the enriching opportunities he offered our students. This tour stands out as one of the best I’ve ever been on, and the flawless execution of every detail truly sets a world-class standard.
