Join the All Blacks on tour in Argentina or South Africa

All Blacks fans looking for the ultimate rugby holiday will have the opportunity to join the team on tour in Argentina and South Africa later this year.

The All Blacks return to Argentina in September to play the Pumas in Buenos Aires and then head to Johannesburg to play South Africa at Coca-Cola Park.

All Blacks Tours, the company exclusively appointed by the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) to provide official All Blacks supporters travel, have just released their exciting range of tour packages for these two matches.

Options include:

• A once-in-a-lifetime combined South America and South Africa tour

• A 12 night tour of South America taking in all the highlights including the famous Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and Santiago

• A 5 night option in Buenos Aires for those short on time

• A 6 night tour to South Africa including the opportunity to go on safari and get up close with the Big Five.

Supporters can book their place on tour with the All Blacks online at www.allblackstours.com

Packages include access to unique tour events, sightseeing excursions and merchandise as well as accommodation, travel and official match tickets.

All Blacks Tours General Manager, David Caldwell, says demand for these destinations is expected to be strong.

“South America is growing in popularity with Kiwis, and an All Blacks match in Argentina offers the perfect excuse to visit. We’ve picked out the best highlights to include in our tours, including the Iguazu Falls which is now considered one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

“For those wanting to support the All Blacks in South Africa, we have the option of visiting Entabeni Safari Conservancy just outside of Johannesburg. Covering more than 22,000 hectares, Entabeni offers an exhilarating experience, including close encounters with the Big Five. It is also home to the Legend Golf & Safari Resort, a championship golf course designed by eighteen of the world’s top golfers. This is the perfect add-on for those who are both rugby and golf fans.”

All Blacks Tours has a number of other packages currently on sale for other 2013 All Blacks fixtures, including domestic Tests in Auckland, Christchurch, New Plymouth, Wellington and Hamilton, and the Bledisloe Cup in Sydney.

Fans can sign up at www.allblackstours.com to be the first to hear about new packages and offers as they are released.
