FIFA South Africa 2010 World Cup Travel Plans?

If you have plans to travel out to South Africa to support England, or your favourite team, and haven’t already done so, you will need to get busy booking flights and accommodation.  Flights are reported to have already gone up in price due to the demand, and accommodation is also likely to be scarce and expensive, with many hotels and guest houses rumoured to be full on many dates. 

There are a lot of things you will need to know regarding visas, passports, vaccinations, etc. so don’t leave it until the last minute.  If you plan to hire a car and drive in South Africa make sure to read up on the rules of the road so that you know what to expect. 

For good tips, information and advice for football fans visit the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website here.  For further travel information for South Africa or other destinations, visit our Travel Guide and click through to the FCO website for travel updates and to explore further travel advice.

Lastly, once your travel plans are in place, don’t forget to protect your precious trip and plans with inexpensive, but comprehensive travel insurance.
