Travel
Best to plan your stay and book early.

June/July when the games are held is also one of South Africa's school holiday periods. Not only will you be competing for accommodation with a larger than normal number of international visitors, you will also have local holiday makers to contend with. Cape Town, and to a slightly lesser extend Durban, is especially popular as a holiday destination for people from Gauteng at this time of year.

A number of the venues are not generally regarded as tourist destinations and does not currently have the infrastructure to accommodate large numbers of visitors. This may change over the next couple of years with development and investment, but it might be cheaper and easier to find accommodation a bit further afield and travel to the matches.

You can, for example, quite easily drive from Pretoria to Rustenburg to watch a match and be back in Pretoria for dinner.

South Africa has 10 airports that act as international ports of entry to the country.

The larger and most used are OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and Cape Town International Airport Prior and during the World Cup, a number of additional international flights may also be scheduled to some of the other international airports. A new airport has been proposed for Durban, construction of the King Shaka International Airport, 30km north of Durban is expected to start in early 2007 for completion in October 2009.
