Dear Incogniti Member
I am really excited to tell you a little more about the proposed tour to Cape Town during November this year.
The tour is being organised by Nav Saeed, so should you like to put your name down for the tour or if you have any questions please contact Nav Saeed directly on +447900 187926 or email him on nsaeed76@hotmail.com
The current proposals are as follows and include some wonderful grounds to play at.
Wed 12: Check in to Breakwater Lodge (for a 12-night stay). See https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/cptbr-protea-hotel-cape-town-waterfront-breakwater-lodge/overview/
Thurs 13: Morning net practice at Western Province CC. Afternoon at leisure.
Fri 14: Match 1 vs Groot Drakenstein Games Club in Franschhoek
Sat 15: Day at leisure (possible day tour to Constantia Valley vineyards with wine tasting and picnic lunch).
Sun 16: Match 2 vs Claremont CC
Mon 17: Day at leisure (possible day tour to Aquila Game Reserve or shark cage diving).
Tues 18: Match 3 vs Western Province CC
Wed 19: Day at leisure (possible day trip to Robben Island and Table Mountain or golf at Erinvale GC).
Thurs 20: Match 4 vs Scorpions CC in Stellenbosch

Sat 22: Day at leisure (followed by a possible Long Room dinner).

Mon 24: Check out to Cape Town International for return flight.
The cost of the tour based on the itinerary above is ZAR30 000 (£1325 at current rate) per person sharing twin rooms on a bed & breakfast basis for twelve nights. Also included is the cost of five match days (including a light lunch and post-match dinner) and a net practice – as well as all transfers to these venues in an air-conditioned coach or minibuses. The cost does not include airfares but you can book flights for about the UK to Cape Town presently for about £600 to £800.
I do hope this proposal whets your appetite - Cape Town is a wonderful place to visit and an even better place to play cricket. It goes without saying I hope, that officials, supporters, friends and loved ones are most welcome to join the tour party.
Thanks to those that have already contacted Nav following his WhatsApp message.
Best wishes
