ICC Cricket World Cup 2027
Cricket & Safari, One Trip
Southern Africa hosts the tournament across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in October and November 2027 — the same window as prime game viewing in Kruger and the Zambezi. We are building match-day itineraries that put both in one booking.
Where the cricket is and what is next door
Venues and the match schedule are confirmed by the ICC closer to the tournament. Pairings below are ours.
Johannesburg & Pretoria
Fly out to the Sabi Sands or Kruger’s private reserves the morning after a match — 90 minutes by air.
Cape Town
Newlands is twenty minutes from the Winelands and an hour from the Whale Coast. October is peak whale season.
Durban & Gqeberha
Coastal venues on the doorstep of Zululand’s malaria-free reserves — the family-friendly safari option.
Harare & Bulawayo
The obvious add-on is Victoria Falls, with low water in October and Devil’s Pool open on the Zambian side.
Windhoek
Etosha’s waterholes are at their most concentrated in October, and Sossusvlei is a short charter away.
Three itinerary shapes, in development now
We are not selling tickets and we will not pretend to. What we will do is build the trip around your match days once the schedule lands — flights, transfers, lodges, game drives and the bits in between.
One city, one safari
Base yourself in a single host city for the group stage, then fly to one reserve for four nights. Least travel, lowest cost.
Follow your team
Match days in two or three cities with safari and Winelands nights slotted into the gaps. Built per fixture list.
Three nations, knockouts included
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia with the Falls, Etosha and Kruger. The trip of a lifetime version.
Be first in the queue when fixtures drop
Lodge space in the private reserves for October and November 2027 will be gone within weeks of the schedule being published. Waitlist members get our proposed itineraries — and provisional lodge holds — before the page goes public.
One email when fixtures are announced. Nothing else.
Do you sell match tickets?
No. Tickets are sold by the ICC and its appointed partners, and we will point you to the official channel when it opens. We handle everything around the cricket: flights within Africa, transfers, hotels, lodges, guides and game drives.
When will the fixture list be published?
The ICC typically confirms venues and the match schedule around a year ahead of a World Cup. We will email the waitlist the day it lands with proposed itineraries attached.
Is October and November a good time for safari?
It is one of the best. Kruger and the private reserves are dry, water is scarce and game concentrates at the remaining pans. Etosha in October is exceptional. It is hot — plan siestas between the morning and evening drives.
Can you handle a large group?
Yes. Quinton has personally run a thirty-person Cape Town retreat and multi-generational family groups of twelve. Tell us the numbers on the waitlist form and we will plan vehicle and lodge capacity from the start.
