Turf and Tusk

Where Passion Meets the Wild

Turf & Tusk is for those who live for the roar — the stadium, the crowd, the chase — and the call of the wild that follows. This experience blends South Africa’s world-class sporting culture with the soul of safari, offering a journey that moves from the electric energy of live rugby to the quiet rhythm of the bush.

Start in Cape Town or Durban for a weekend of top-tier sport — test matches, club rugby, or the legendary atmosphere of a Springboks fixture. Feel the pulse of the stands, the pride of a nation, and the camaraderie that spills from stadiums into the streets. Then trade the turf for the track, and fly into the wilderness — where elephants replace the crowds, and the soundtrack shifts from cheers to birdsong.

The Experience

Each itinerary is tailored for fans and athletes alike — immersive, exhilarating, and authentically South African. Begin with VIP access to premier rugby events, pre-game hospitality, and the chance to connect with local players and coaches who live and breathe the sport. Between matches, explore the city’s coastal views, vineyards, and vibrant dining scene.

Then, journey into the bush for a change of pace and perspective. Evenings unfold around campfires instead of stadium lights. Morning game drives replace early training sessions. The same focus, discipline, and respect that define great sport come alive in the wilderness — in every tracking moment, every pause, every story shared by your ranger.

Why It’s Different

Turf & Tusk captures the essence of South Africa’s two greatest passions — sport and safari. It’s designed for travellers who crave both: the rush of competition and the calm that follows victory.

Whether you’re celebrating a Springboks win with a glass of Cape red or watching the sunrise break over the plains, this journey is about balance — movement and stillness, power and perspective.

Because in South Africa, the spirit of the game doesn’t end at the final whistle.
It continues — out here, in the wild.
