We travelled to Cape Town with MSG in May 2026, and it was a fantastic trip from start to finish.
The preparation was outstanding. In the weeks before departure, all 60+ members of our group attended two face to face meetings with the MSG team, complete with detailed presentations on the itinerary and plenty of helpful guidance. As a result, we arrived feeling informed, confident and genuinely excited.
The MSG team greeted us at the airport on arrival, and their support throughout the trip made everything so much easier and more enjoyable.
Cape Town exceeded all my expectations. Very few cities in the world offer such a wonderful combination of glorious weather, beautiful beaches, iconic landmarks such as Table Mountain and Lion's Head, a lively nightlife and, best of all, a real passion for rugby. On our free days we enjoyed a round of golf right next to DHL Stadium, home of the Stormers, which was a real highlight.
The itinerary was brilliantly put together, striking the perfect balance between sightseeing and time to relax, socialise and explore the city at our own pace.
One word of warning: be prepared for the return home! Going from paying less than £10 for a fillet steak and a pint in Cape Town to £40 to £50 back in the UK certainly takes some getting used to!
This was far from our first trip with MSG. As a group of friends, and with our local rugby club, we have travelled with Mark and his team to destinations across Europe and North America, and every trip has been a success. I would wholeheartedly recommend MSG to anyone planning a group trip, wherever they are heading. Thank you to the whole team for yet another experience we will never forget.
