Wales Rugby Tour of South Africa
29 JUNE - 18 JULY 2022
Two true titans of international rugby, Wales head to South Africa in 2022 for a goliath Test series.
Following the disappointment of the 2021 Lions Tour being played behind closed doors, we are ecstatic to return once again to South Africa. From the history of Johannesburg, to the surf in Durban, to the bucket-list experience of a Safari, South Africa is the ultimate touring destination.
