South African Cricket Safari
South Africa emerged from the world's sporting wilderness to reassert itself as a Cricketing powerhouse. Never far from the top of the rankings the Proteas always provide an intimidating challenge for visiting cricket nations. The cricket is tough and hard fought but the atmosphere and location are as welcoming as anywhere in the world
