Como sabemos que será un problema en el próximo año en la Copa Mundial con los tickets para los partidos, el transporte y el alojamiento pensamos que nuestro “Party Safari Road Trips” será la solución más económica y perfecta.
Sudáfrica es un país grande y el transporte público no cumple del todo con las reglas básicas mundiales de transporte. Por esto si tenes pensado ir al mundial de futbol será realmente muy complicado poder viajar por tu cuenta siguiendo a tu equipo a todas las ciudades en las que juegue.
Nosotros te ofrecemos una opción flexible y confiable para viajar por todo Sudáfrica y disfrutar también de la atmosfera de la Copa del mundo, además de poder acceder a todas las grandes fiestas que habrá en cada ciudad en que los equipos estén jugando.
Al igual que en Alemania 2006 Sudáfrica tiene planificado colocar pantallas gigantes en grandes parques especialmente para todos los fans del futbol de manera gratuita. Es por esto que aunque nuestro viaje no incluya los tickets para los partidos si incluirá el transporte hacia y desde todos los parques de fans los días de partido.
Nosotros contaremos con nuestros propios vehículos de Safari para viajar por el país. Nuestro “Party Safari´s” incluirá:
Todo el transporte, alojamiento (viviremos esta fiesta en grandes campings situados a una hora como máximo de cada estadio. Tiendas de campaña y todo lo necesario esta incluido)
Todas las comidas incluidas (excepto los días de partido).
INCLUYE:
-El transporte en Camiones “Todo Terreno”, conductor, guía, cocinero. Equipamiento de cocina y camping, combustible, peajes.
-Además incluye todos los permisos que se deben abonar en Sudáfrica para viajar adentro del país.
-Comidas y alojamiento, como indicamos anteriormente.
NO INCLUIDO:
Tasa de ingreso al país para las personas y sus equipajes, pasaje aéreo, tasas aeroportuarias.
Entradas para los partidos de futbol.
Como el sorteo de la Copa del Mundo no será hasta el 4 de diciembre del 2009 nuestro precio básico solo incluye lo mencionado anteriormente. Luego del sorteo cuando ya sepamos en que ciudad jugara tu equipo podremos enviarte un itinerario bien detallado con muchas más opciones extras. Ejemplo: Safaris, Actividades de Turismo aventura, los cuales podrás reservar antes o durante el espectacular viaje.

Cape Town Stadium Lights Up

Thanks http://6000.co.za/2009/10/23/light-up-light-up/
South Africa Is Confident
Officials in South Africa are extremely confident that the venues and infrastructure will be completed and ready for the beginning of the 2010 World Cup.
The draw for the group stages of the tournament takes place in early December which will indicate where the teams will be playing their initial matches.
However, Danny Jordaan, head of the organising committee, said: “The 4th December draw will actually give us a clear indication of the matches and therefore the expected support of each team and the demands that it will place on both accomodations, transportion, and other logistics, and then we can fine tune our operational plan.”
Even so, Jordaan did admit that there may be some delays: “I’m confident that all the stadiums will be ready. Of course, the one in Cape Town, we’ve always said December or probably next year. The completion date as we speak today is 14th of December, but we may go into January because the Cape Town stadium actually started four months later.”
During the interview, Jordaan also dismissed concerns about crime against visiting fans next year. Nevertheless, organisers are encouraging fans to arrive to games early to combat the problem of South African fans turning up late for games and blocking entrances.

Major concert to launch 2010 World Cup
The launch of next year's FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa will be marked with a three-hour pop concert.
The event, from the team behind the Live 8 and Live Earth shows, will take place on June 10 at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg.
Organiser Kevin Wall told BBC News: "We are going to have a lot of the major African artists and really it's going to be about Africa so the slots for international artists are a rarity.
"I think this will be one of the greatest shows ever produced from Africa."
Regarding reports of a possible appearance by the Spice Girls, he added: "I've heard a lot of these rumours, we've been overwhelmed by ideas like that that have come to us from artists and the press.
"We're really trying to highlight football and the cultures and colour and music of Africa so you will see a lot of great international artists but I can't comment on who they are."
Money from the event will be donated to 20 Centres for 2010, the official charity of next year's football competition.

World Cup: 250 days and kicking
That's how many days remain before the 2010 spectacle kicks off at the cooking-pot-shaped, 95,000-seat Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Tourists warned of 2010 hotels 'rip-off'
Concerns that English soccer fans will be fleeced by Cape Town hotels during the World Cup emerged in British newspapers this week.
The Daily Mirror reported that fans could be forced to pay a 30 percent surcharge for hotel rooms.
The report said supporters who booked accommodation with a Fifa-backed agency would be charged commission of an average £12 (R150) a night on top of the room price.
It said Match Event Services, part-owned by a British firm based in Manchester, was expected to block-book 55 000 hotel rooms for the tournament in June.
"That is more than 80 percent of South Africa's available rooms, so fans will have little choice but to pay hiked prices - sparking fury from politicians, supporters' groups and travel agents."
The report said the commission added to the standard hotel rates was likely to bump up the cost of a night in an average hotel by £12, from £38 to £50. It is thought England's army of 20 000 fans - the biggest following of any country - will attend for an average 10 nights each.
Kevin Miles, director of international affairs for the Football Supporters' Federation, was quoted as saying: "For Fifa's own accommodation agency to take an extra 30 percent of costs is quite simply ripping off fans."
Chris von Ulmenstein, owner of Whale Cottage Guest House Portfolio, which has guest houses in Camps Bay and along the Garden Route, said that Match first tried to dictate an accommodation rate to guest houses and hotels based on the 2007 rate plus 16 percent.
"They would then take 30 percent commission, which is a huge amount. The norm is 10 percent and at most 20 percent for operators with whom one has done business for a long time," she said.
Von Ulmenstein said Match did become more flexible and told smaller establishments to set a "fair" rate and that Match would take 30 percent on top of this rate as its commission.
She said she hadn't signed up with Match and that neither had any of the other 24 establishments belonging to the Guest House Association in Camps Bay.
"Most of us intend using our summer rate for 2009/2010 and adding 10 percent for the World Cup rate. We don't want rip-off pricing." Von Ulmenstein said she was concerned that Fifa's profits as well as the bulk of the commission Match will make would leave South Africa.
"On the accommodation side alone this could easily amount to R330 million at a conservative estimate."
But Cape Town Tourism CEO Mariette du Toit- Helmbold said statements about prohibitive prices were being based on a skewed perspective of the broader tourism offering.
"Like many other top world cities, Cape Town does have some high-end luxury products like private, serviced villas located in exclusive areas and on the edge of the ocean, and these properties do appeal to the prestige visitor at the top end of the market.
"On the whole, Cape Town's pricing strategy is well balanced for the duration of the 2010 Fifa World Cup."
She said for the most part, accommodation establishments in Cape Town were posting rates equivalent to their peak season rates.
