A real cliché, but in this case true. If you are an England football (or soccer) fan there is a very good chance that the England team will confirm their participation in the Fifa 2010 World Cup in South Africa after their Group 6 qualifying game against Croatia at Wembley Stadium on 09th September 2009. Even a draw will virtually guarantee England qualification. The draw for the group stages of the finals will only be made on 04th December 2009, and this is the first time you will find out where your team will be playing their 3 group games. Demand for flights (& therefore the price), is only going to get higher from now on in. So don’t wait until then. 8 of the 9 host cities are accessed through Johannesburg. Cape Town is only hosting 8 of the 64 matches, so Johannesburg is the hub, flight-wise.
Flights with Kenya Airways via Nairobi are available still from under £ 600.00 per person (inclusive of all taxes), direct flights under £ 900.00 per person (inclusive of all taxes). Hotel & guesthouse accommodation is available from £ 40.00 per person per night (sharing), throughout the country. Internal flights are already hard to come by, so why not reserve a rental car now when you book your flights and guarantee you can get from city to city to watch your team?
And when you have 3, 4 or 5 nights to fill between matches, let Africa Collection plan your trip. We are experts in South Africa and have unrivalled contacts to plan your trip. Beach, surfing, golf, history, wildlife, city life, nightlife – we can do it all. Or if you want to travel in a small party or group (ideally 4-10 people) we can help with villas and apartments in all the major cities and venues.
So really – don’t delay, book today – and make sure you are a part of the greatest show on earth! And you never know, you may be able to say you were there when England won the World Cup in 2010.

Do you expect a big influence on South Africa’s neighbouring countries, e.g. Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique?
