Should you decide to do a bit of a South Africa tour between or after anyone of the soccer matches be sure to get yourself a South Africa map or the area you intend to visit.

Many visitors misjudge just how big South Africa is.

Secondly phone ahead to find out if there is accommodation and cheap car hire South Africa available at the destination you wish to visit. Most of the hospitality venues for South Africa accommodation are going to be hard pressed to cope with the sheer numbers of soccer fans. You may want to consider exploring one the smaller cities or towns or coastal locations.

Here you can experience the true welcome of country folk and get to see some amazing sites and scenery. Old churches, farmsteads, and buildings from the turn of the century have a timeless feel and will transport you back to a bygone area.

The Cape unfortunately has a wet winter period but having said that, weather permitting, you could experience wine farms to mountain views and untouched beaches all with a 40km radius of the Greater Cape metropolis. The winter days are crisp in the mornings but get warmer as the day progresses and a cold nip comes off the Atlantic Ocean by late afternoon, so pack a jersey even if the sun is shining.
