All Blacks to South Africa

Dear All Blacks Rugby Supporter,

I am pleased to present to you our "ALL BLACKS TRAVEL" - PROUDLY BY WILLIMENT brochure for the All Blacks Tour to South Africa in August 2010. The prospect of watching the All Blacks play on foreign soil is always a big draw-card for New Zealand Rugby fans, with the South African sights, game viewing and love of rugby all key attractions.

For this tour in August 2010, we have put together a spectacular 18 day itinerary, offering ample scenic and social inclusions, with memorable meals & banquets as we journey through the best of Southern Africa. Starting with the Bledisloe Cup in Christchurch, fly with Qantas (the most direct route) to Johannesburg for an overnight, before heading to the incredible Victoria Falls (from the Zambian side) followed by 2 nights of game viewing at the Chobe Marina Lodge. Head back to South Africa spending 5 nights in the beautiful city of Cape Town, before travelling to the highly acclaimed Ivory Tree Lodge in the Pilanesburg National Park for 2 nights. Finally head back to Johannesburg for the tour finale, Springboks v The All Blacks, at the famous Ellis Park.

During the tour, we hope to enjoy an exclusive cocktail function or gathering with the All Blacks team and management. This is a benefit of our relationship with the NZRU, but will largely depend on the ability to coordinate our itinerary with the schedule and availability of the All Blacks squad.

We are also offering an optional extension tour to fascinating Namibia, spending 5 nights exploring the majestic sand dunes and touring through this amazing country. From there you could fly home (maybe with a stopover in Australia enroute?), head back to Pretoria to watch the Wallabies v Springboks test, or extend privately to other parts of Africa, or even UK / Europe. Full flexibility exists to ensure your needs and preferences are met.

If you would like to discuss any aspects of our tour in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact one of the tour coordinators in our nationwide offices. We will be pleased to hear from you and share our thoughts and experiences. We do hope you can join us!

With kind regards to all.
