The British & Irish Lions is the greatest rugby tour of all and in 2021 the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will converge on South Africa. This is a huge opportunity to attend a once in a lifetime sporting event and also tick off numerous bucket list items! Let Sport and Music take your stress away of booking your trip as we are offering bespoke travel packages to suit you, from flights, hotels, transfers, excursions and more. Contact us today to design your ideal trip.
A hugely memorable Tour was 1997, their second victory in South Africa from 100 years of trying. This was one of the Lions greatest tactical successes as they won the Test series 2-1. Defeated by Australia in 2001 and then South Africa in 2009, the Lions came roaring back and were triumphant in Australia in 2013 to then seal a dramatic draw series in New Zealand.
From safari tours, to vineyard tours, to swimming with sharks, we are offering bespoke travel and tours for anyone from individuals, couples, small groups and corporate groups. Contact Sport and Music to discuss what you want to include in your trip. At Sport and Music, we are passionate about ensuring our clients have the best experience and receive the products they want.
