Test Tour to South Africa 2018 View Basket

Hosted by Merv Hughes

Australian Sports Tours is extremely proud to invite you on its 2018 supporters tour to South Africa for Australia's Test series against the Proteas.

One of Australian Sports Tours' favourite touring destinations, South Africa offers luxury accommodation and hospitality, breathtaking scenery and some of the world's most spectacular wildlife viewing. Combined with the spirited rivalry and fiercely fought contests that these two great cricketing nations always deliver, you can rest assured you are in for an unforgettable touring experience.

Having successfully toured South Africa in 2002, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2014, next year marks Australian Sports Tours' sixth Test tour to this magnificent cricketing destination and its unparalleled travel expertise throughout all parts of the country will ensure your experience is unsurpassed for quality & value.

AST Tour Host Merv Hughes has travelled on all of AST's previous South Africa tours and his colourful character plus in depth knowledge of both teams will once again provide a fascinating insight into each day's play.

In recent times Australia has enjoyed good success touring South Africa with wins in three of the past four series. However, with the Proteas having chalked up a 2-1 series win in Australia last year the two sides are arguably as closely matched as they have ever been.

Adding even more to its appeal, the 2018 series in South Africa returns to a four Test format for the first since 1969-70. It promises to deliver an enthralling battle with plenty of twists and turns, just as we witnessed on Australia's recent tour to India which went right down to the wire. Steve Smith has unquestionably hardened his squad and he will no doubt be eyeing this tour as his chance to notch up an impressive away victory as captain and at the same time advance his own ambitions of becoming one of Australia's most successful batsmen of all time.

Whether you have been to South Africa before or are touring for the first time, the wonders of this country, its welcoming people and spectacular scenery & wildlife will have you spellbound from start to finish.
