SECTION 1: BEFORE YOU GO | < BACK | NEXT >

1.7        BOOKING SAFARI ADD-ON TOURS

Just about every football fan will want to view South Africa’s famous wildlife reserves, of which the Kruger National Park is the best known.  Within the greater Kruger area are the private reserves of Sabi Sand and Timbavati, without doubt the best safari experiences in the country. This area is easily accessed from host cities Nelspruit and Polokwane, as well as by air from Johannesburg.

Closer to Johannesburg and Pretoria are the malaria free regions of Waterberg and Madikwe, while from Port Elizabeth, fans can easily visit the Addo Elephant Park, which is also Big Five territory and malaria free. 

From Durban, fans can easily access Hluhluwe-Umfolozi reserve in Zululand. Contact Greenlife Africa Safaris on info@greenlife.co.za and one of their consultants will work out the best safari solution based on your matches and time available.

For the most rewarding experience, it is advisable to spend at least 2 or 3 nights in a wildlife region. If time does not permit this, there are possibilities for day tours into some national parks, particularly from Nelspruit into the Kruger Park, and Johannesburg, Pretoria and Rustenburg into Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Contact Greenlife Africa Safaris on info@greenlife.co.za to if you want to book day tours out of one of the Host Cities. 

1.8        BOOKING BEACH AND OTHER ADD-ON GETAWAYS

World Cup will be hosted in the southern hemisphere winter, so don’t expect to be basking on sundrenched beaches. If you want a beach holiday, the best area will be Durban and the sub tropical beaches north of the city. Alternatively, consider Mozambique for a beach break before or after your matches.

Cape Town has a winter rainfall, but between the rainy days are often gloriously warm sunny days, when you can nip down to one of the city’s landmark beaches and soak up the rays.

Once again, if you are wanting some time on the beaches or any other holiday destination, contact Greenlife Africa Safaris on info@greenlife.co.za and one of their consultants will work out the best area and accommodation  based on your matches and time available.
