15th April 2026 - South Africa Cricket Travel have appointed Gullivers Sports Travel as an Accredited Sales Agent for the upcoming England Cricket Tour to South Africa and packages are on sale today. 

The appointment comes amid robust year-on-year growth for the global Cricket Fan Travel market, reflecting the popularity of cricket as a global sport, with long-haul sports travel from the UK rising significantly as fans seek ‘bucket list’ sporting trips.

As an Accredited Sales Agent, Gullivers Sports Travel will offer official travel packages combining match tickets, international flights, accommodation and curated fan experiences – providing guaranteed access to one of the standout tours in the international cricket calendar.

The England Men’s Cricket team will tour South Africa from 17th December 2026 to 15th January 2027 for a six-match series: three tests and three one day international fixtures. The tour features the iconic Boxing Day Test in Centurion and New Year’s Test in Cape Town at Newland’s Cricket Ground - fixtures widely regarded as two of the most atmospheric in world cricket.

The event marks a major milestone as this is the first chance to follow England on a red ball tour to South Africa since 2019/2020.  Gullivers Sports Travel will join a global network of Accredited Sales Agents dedicated to bringing fans closer to the action.
