A British & Irish Lions tour is one of the world's great sporting events, and the 2009 tour to South Africa promises to be a classic - the best of the home nations facing the current world champions in their own backyard.

From a fans point of view, a Lions tour to South Africa offers the best of both worlds - tough, uncompromising rugby on the field, and a warm welcome and huge number of different attractions off it. To top it all off, it is only a 10 hour flight (and 1 hour time difference) compared to the much longer journeys to Australia and New Zealand.

From beautiful, sophisticated, cosmopolitan Cape Town at the southern tip of Africa, to world class safari lodges, beaches, diving, and countless other activities there will be plenty to do between games.
