Polo holidays in South Africa
(13 Mar 2017) LEADIN:
Polo players from around the world are heading to South Africa for an immersive polo holiday.
The country is seeking to attract polo tourists with package holidays offering winter sunshine, quality instruction and even good value for money, due to the current weakness of South Africa's currency.
STORYLINE:
Two teams on horseback score by hitting a ball into the opposing goal.
It's a high speed sport that draws holidaymakers from around the world.
Polo has been played in South Africa since the 1870s, and according to the South African Polo Association there are 40 polo clubs with six offering immersive polo holiday packages.
Sports Tourism academic Tracy Daniels says polo holidays in South Africa are currently very affordable because of the country's weak currency.
So internationally we have seen a growth in polo tourism. There are some well established polo tourism destinations around the world such as Spain and Argentina. And now we're seeing a number of emerging destinations who have identified polo tourism as an opportunity for social and economic development. And examples of these would be Dubai and China which is promoting summer and also snow polo. So South Africa definitely has the opportunity to compete with these destinations – as an international polo tourism destination. We have favourable weather conditions, we have world class facilities, we have breathtaking scenery, and also with the exchange rate, South Africa is also a very affordable destination for international travellers.
One of the establishments offering a full polo package holiday in South Africa is Jurassic Park Polo, situated at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains.
Selby Williamson manages polo holidays here, where they teach how to hit the ball, how to ride the horse and tactics.
When we're out here for a week or ten days or whatever your timeframe is we basically cover the most fundamental things: is your hitting, which we break down into the hand-eye coordination, and we do a lot of wooden horse, structure like that. So we get it right on the wooden horse and foot mallets before we get on the horse. Riding – we spend a lot time doing riding, corrective riding. Because most disciplines you ride deep in the seat, polo you ride in the fore of the seat so you're ready to go there he says.
Every day starts with foot mallets. This is practicing and refining hitting the ball.
From there, polo holidaymakers, like Ana Escobedo from Mexico, climb onto a wooden horse to practice hitting balls from the same position as one would be on a horse.
Escobedo has played polo in many other parts of the world.
The reason I come here even though I also go to Argentine and other places in the world to play polo, is because here I have the full package in terms of what I get on the environment, the perfect conditions for me to submerge on a very technical teaching of polo. We have the highest quality of horses, of practices and of course the welcoming of a fantastic team that helps you on learning, on enjoying the time here.
The next stage of the daily training is practicing hitting penalties.
Jurassic Park owner Selby Williamson captained the South African national polo team for seven years.
We cater to anyone from absolute beginners through to intermediate to advanced players on horses that are easy and safe. And you stay with the family, it's a family environment, eating home-cooked meals and a have a fun-filled holiday where we play chukkas, we cover wooden horse, skills and drills, riding, stick and balling, all polo tactics, everything revolves around polo he says.
Stick and Balling is practicing swings, and finally horse-riding lessons end the daily training.
