World Cup Got You Thinking South Africa?    by Colin


World Cup Predictions. Plus... Is a Trip to South Africa in your Future?

Cape Town City BreakEven if you don't watch soccer (or football to those from the other side of the pond), it seems you can't avoid the frenzy surrounding the FIFA World Cup.

Many people are not only hoping this event will bring South Africans together but also spotlight the country as a great travel destination, which it truly is.

There are dozens of tours on our site that either focus on or pass through South Africa and many are currently on sale.

South Africa and The World Cup

African Witch DoctorSangomas (traditional Zulu diviners and healers who were once known as witch-doctors) are now offering their predictions as to how South Africa will do in the competition. One predicted that they would make it into the second round (unfortunately just recently that prediction was proven wrong as South Africa were knocked out of round one even after a win against France).

However the Sangoma did predict that the World Cup would be won by an overseas team, this is now proving true as the Netherlands and Spain are through to the finals!

Regardless on who wins the cup, South Africa as a travel destination is guaranteed to increase in the minds of travellers. This beautiful country has lots more to offer than soccer.
