This Year Football Fans Can Enjoy South Africa Holidays
Hosting the World Cup is an honour and a privilege, and South Africa has more to offer tourists than the average host nation. The Fifa World Cup 2010 will take place in and around South Africa, from Cape Town to Johannesburg and Durban. Those travelling to South Africa for the competition shouldn't waste their opportunity to sample the incredible scenery, wildlife, history and culture on offer in this part of the world.
England's group games take place in Rustenburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth against USA, Algeria and Slovenia respectively, and each of these locations is a tourist attraction in its own right.
Rustenburg
Rustenburg is one of the more popular tourist destinations in South Africa, situated in the North West Province at the foot of the Magaliesberg Mountains, which towers nearly 2000m above sea level. It's just 30km from Sun City, the internationally-renowned luxury holiday resort with all manner of culinary delights and entertainment.
The Madikwe Game Reserve is also popular with tourists in the North West Province, where animals roam free. There is a lot of accommodation available in the Madikwe Reserve, including luxury hotels and lodges.
Cape Town
Between Table Mountain and the ocean lies Cape Town, a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with achingly beautiful surroundings.
Home to the newly-constructed 70,000-seater Green Point Stadium, Cape Town has much more to offer than simply World Cup games. The mountains can be viewed from the stadium, and hopefully this will encourage footie fans to explore the amazing landscape.
South Africa's 'Mother City' has a wide range of activities and attractions for tourists, from chilling on the popular beaches to taking in the vivid paintings of Bo-Kaap. Hout Bay is well-known for its great tuna and crayfishing, as well as the historical naval base at Simon's Town.
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront provides retail opportunities for all those shopping needs, and also had the Two Oceans Aquarium. With bustling nigfhtlife, quality wine production with tours, Cape Town is an exciting and envigorating place to take a South Africa holiday.
Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth, which is part of Nelson Mandela Bay, is another of South Africa's big cities, located in the Eastern Cape, 770km east from Cape Town. The Eastern Cape is relatively new to welcoming tourists, but is fast becoming popular with tourists looking for a range of activities and attractions as well as accommodation and pristine beaches.
There are lots of hotels and lodges for tourists to stay at, from privately owned Bed & Breakfasts to luxury lodges in game reserves. The Mountain Zebra and Addo Elephant National Parks may interest animal lovers, and were set up to protect zebras and elephants in this area.
England fans travelling to South Africa for the Fifa World Cup will be bowled over by the country if only they have the curiosity and enthusiasm to experience it.
