Stay close to the ground, all tour long

Field Trip is a Johannesburg-based sports travel company. We book hotels close to every ground on England's 2026/27 tour of South Africa, from about £70 per person, and look after you on the ground from the first Test to the last ODI. You bring the cricket; we sort where you sleep, how you get there and who to call.

Already sorted for the cricket?

  • Hotels held near each ground, chosen for the walk or short drive to the gate, not just the price.
  • One South African contact on WhatsApp for the whole trip.
  • Match-day transfers, domestic flights and extra nights on request, linked into one itinerary.
  • Still need a seat? Match-day access can be arranged on request. Tell us the match and where you'd like to be, and we'll quote it with your hotel.

Why book with a South African company

Local, and priced in Rand

We live here. We know which hotels are a walk from the Wanderers gate, how long the Friday traffic takes to Centurion, and where to stay in Cape Town between the Newlands Test and the Paarl ODI. Our prices are set in Rand, so your pound goes further, and you deal with the people doing the work, not a call centre.

Thanks — your enquiry is in. We'll be in touch shortly.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Do I need a visa for South Africa?

British passport holders don't need a visa for a holiday of up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 30 days after you leave and have two blank pages. If you travel on another passport, check South Africa's visa rules before you book.

Can you arrange match-day access as well?

On request, yes. Tell us which match and where you'd like to be (the pavilion, the banks or a hospitality box) and we'll advise the best way in and quote it with your hotel. If you're already sorted for the cricket, we just do the rest.

How do you price, and can I pay from the UK?

Our prices are in South African Rand, per person sharing, and the pound amounts on this page are approximate. We invoice in Rand; you can pay by card or bank transfer from the UK and your bank converts. The exchange rate usually works in your favour.

How do I get between the grounds?

Johannesburg and Centurion are 45 minutes apart by road. Cape Town is a 2-hour flight from Johannesburg, Paarl is an hour's drive from Cape Town, and Bloemfontein is an hour's flight from Cape Town or Johannesburg. We book domestic flights and transfers on request and link the matches into one itinerary.

Is Field Trip an official tour operator for the series?

No. Field Trip is an independent South African sports travel company, registered in Johannesburg. We're not affiliated with Cricket South Africa, the ECB or any official supporters' travel programme.
