South african Sports Tours: Exploring the Options
As soon as PK receive your enquiry, they will allocate you a personal Tour Co-ordinator with detailed knowledge of your preferred destination and of the sporting opportunities available. They will talk to you to make sure they understand exactly what you want and that you are aware of all the possibilities available.

Tailoring an Itinerary
Your Co-ordinator will then put together a draft itinerary that is best possible fit with your requirements. This of course can be amended if necessary.

Selecting Accommodation
PK offers a range of accommodation: hostels, apartments or hotels. All are fully checked by their Due Diligence procedures and they will provide you with a full description of facilities and costs. Billets (staying with host families) are available for some destinations and offer a great way of experiencing the country, forging international friendships and keeping costs down. It is advisable not to billet throughout your tour, as it tends fragment the tour group.

Organising Sports Fixtures
PK work closely with sports associations, clubs and schools and have an expert knowledge of the level of play of local teams. If you have you own contacts they will happily liaise with them. The most significant lessons are learned in competitive challenging encounters, rather than easy victories or hard defeats. PK plan carefully to ensure that the fixtures organised are with teams of the right age range and competence. They also recognise the importance of cultural and social touring experiences and will try and organise post-match hospitality, whenever possible.

Going Free
Complementary places are available to teachers, tour leaders or helpers, normally on the basis of one complementary per twenty paying passengers. Obviously, the bigger the tour group, the more comps that are available.

Making the Booking
As soon as you are happy with the tour arrangements, PK will send you a booking information pack. You then return the booking form and pay a non-refundable deposit of £100 per person. As soon as this is received, PK will send you a confirmation invoice detailing the services to be provided and the outstanding balance, which becomes due 10 weeks prior to your departure date.

Answering your Questions
In the run up to a tour, your Co-ordinator will be available to answer questions at all times. PK understand the pressure on schools when it comes to safety issues and the need to undertake a formal Risk Assessment for every trip. Teachers' tasks are quite heavy enough, so they will undertake to ensure that all the information needed for this is available and up to date.
