“Howzat Travel has managed to keep a personal feel to the tour despite a large increase in numbers from previous tour to India. Credit goes to Ian and the team for doing this, I hope it continues in the future.”
Dennis Freeman
“An enjoyable tour with some exciting Test cricket and excellent environs and scenery from Kruger to Cape Town.”
Mark Davies
“A good tour and mix of company.”
Chris Phillips
“Our tour leader Carl was great fun, friendly and enthusiastic. Overall, the tour was great fun and we have met lots of new friends who we hope to tour with again.”
Kirsty O’Connor and Jeremy Haslehurst
“Thank you very much indeed for a wonderful period in South Africa this winter – it’s so much appreciated. I think you, Ian, as a tour leader, were absolutely brilliant with your organisation on the Two Oceans tour. Everything went according to plan and I’m very proud to book with Howzat Travel each year – you get better and better… fantastic! Leanne and John were also both a big help. Have an enjoyable and safe trip to Bangladesh. Thanks!”
Andrew Tipple
“I certainly enjoyed the whole journey. The hotels were great and it was good not having to worry about transfers. My safari was a wonderful experience; everything I hoped it would be. I am the envy of many of my friends in that I saw all the ‘Big Five’. (Of course, you can’t take credit for the last bit!). All the best for the Bangladesh trip.”
Ann Busfield
“I just wanted to say thank you for a really great tour. Matt and I had a great time and the whole thing was even better than we expected, although I do think we had the best tour leader!”
Catherine & Matt Spikings
“Howzat Travel rose superbly to the challenge of organising a tailor-made trip to South Africa for my group of 18 cricket and wildlife fans. We were in Cape Town for New Years Eve and fireworks over the bay. After five absorbing and tense days at the Test Match, we flew to Jo’burg and a self drive trip for a six-night stay in Kruger Park. We drove ourselves round the park and most of us saw the ‘Big Five’! We stayed within the park and all thought that Oliphants Camp was fantastic. Every stage of our trip was without fault and I have no hesitation recommending Howzat Travel for their organisation and value.”
Geoff Goodson – Chairman of Egerton Park Cricket Club, Melton Mowbray
“We enjoyed our holiday immensely and it will remain in our minds forever. We would have no hesitation in travelling with your company again and would recommend you to anyone interested in such trips. Thanks to you and all your team for your excellent organisation and we wish you every success for the future.”
Philip & Beryl Charlton
“I had the most enjoyable time on the Two Oceans tour. Your organising was first class, and I will travel with you again.”
Edward John Draper
“I must say the whole tour went as I hoped with the major bonus being the game itself. Your organisation of the ‘background’ stuff such as buses, tours, transfers, hotels etc worked well and if that all goes to plan, then the ‘major’ part falls into place. We had a good mixture of people on the tour, which made for some very amusing moments and some good company. Good luck with your Bangladesh tour and the West Indies coming up, and best wishes to you all and your continuing success – we may meet again on another tour. Best regards.”
Paul Hardie
“Thanks to all of the party for making this first time traveller feel so welcome. I am looking forward to Australia and the ‘Kookaburra tour. All the best.”
Keith Moran
“An excellent holiday. Thank you for all your hard work both before and during our trip. The trip was brilliantly organised, which enabled me to concentrate on enjoying the cricket and Cape Town. I had a fantastic time and have not stopped raving about Howzat Travel since I returned home! The excursions were excellent and I don’t remember a tour with such seamless organisation. I did not spend one second feeling hassled. I have made new friends who I hope to meet again on future cricket tours. A big thank you to everybody at Howzat Travel – I will be in touch very soon to book my Ashes trip next winter.”
A Williamson
“Excellent on all counts – Well done.”
BJC & JA Gibby

John & Chrissy Clegg
“First time with howzat, had a great time. Cannot fault organisation, all tour leaders very good. Very good value for money, will use again.”
David Iliffe
“I can’t think of anything to improve, the trip was excellent. Everything ran very smoothly and was very well organised.”
David & Sharon
“Now we are safely back in snowy England and I’m in the office working away I thought a quick email to thank you all for providing us with such a great holiday / cricket tour in Cape Town should be my priority of the day. So here we go, it was a thoroughly fantastic experience for both Sue and myself of which we enjoyed every single minute, your arrangements, planning, etc. were faultless and the hotel destination just perfect we even had great cricket thrown in almost to order!!! ”
Malcolm & Sue
“After travelling with Gullivers for the last six times, Howzat has been as good and great value. Keep it simple and succeed.”
Anthony Townsend
“Just a quick email to thank you for a great time in Cape Town, everybody was easygoing and good to get along with. I know the little group we formed had a lot of fun even though we were complete strangers from the start. We are hoping to meet up again with you for the Sri Lanka tour but Tony and I might be bringing our partners which might slow us down a little. Once again on behalf of Eric, Mike, Tony and myself, many thanks, Best regards”
Ian Holmes
“Just to say we had a brilliant time in Cape Town, the organisation, hotel, transfers, excursions were first class. Many thanks!”
Rhys & Margaret Williams
“Thanks again for Cape Town. We could not fault the trip and thoroughly enjoyed it.”
John & Chrissy
“Had a great time, saw two great test matches and made some new friends. I will definitely be going on another tour”
John Davis
“We both really enjoyed the trip and the “Howzat experience” and look forward to doing another tour with you. Happy Christmas to you and all the rest of the Howzat team. Kind regards”
