Aquila Safari Named Official Cape Town Safari Partner for England's 2026/27 Cricket Tour
Aquila Safari and the Barmy Army have announced a partnership naming Aquila as the Official Cape Town Safari Experience Partner for England's 2026/27 cricket tour to South Africa. The collaboration is designed to extend the touring fan experience beyond the boundary, offering travelling England supporters the opportunity to combine their match itinerary with a Big 5 safari at Aquila, situated less than two hours from Cape Town. Thousands of England fans are expected to travel to South Africa for the tour, continuing one of cricket's most established travelling supporter traditions.
The partnership underlines the growing significance of sports tourism as a driver of destination growth, with modern touring fans increasingly seeking complete travel experiences built around sporting events. Cape Town's appeal as a cricket tour destination - combining world-class facilities with access to the Cape Winelands, coastal attractions and wildlife experiences - positions the city well to capitalise on the influx of visitors. For Aquila Safari, the tie-up with the Barmy Army offers direct access to a large and engaged international audience, while reinforcing the Western Cape's broader tourism offering to one of South Africa's most important overseas source markets.
