With the awe-inspiring backdrop of Table Mountain, there can be few more spectacular venues to watch a sporting event than Newlands Cricket Ground in South Africa’s Cape Town. On this special 10-day tour, you will enjoy all five days of the second Test match between South Africa and Joe Root’s England side in hospitality with lunch, afternoon tea and drinks included. Hosting you during the match will be one of the game’s most popular figures. David Gower captained his country 32 times and remains the fourth most prolific run-scorer in the history of England cricket. In addition, amateur wine-buff David will join you on a wine-tasting tour and spend an early evening with you cruising on a luxury catamaran.

"I have been very fortunate to have visited many legendary cricketing venues during my career. however there is one missing piece: I have never seen a Test Match at the iconic Newlands Ground, so therefore I cannot wait to fulfil the dream in January – particularly as by then England will hopefully have won the World Cup and regained the Ashes!" - David Graveney OBE
