The Cheapest Accommodation For the 2010 FIFA World Cup

In June of 2010, the Federation Internationale de Football Association World Cup will be in Durban, South Africa. The game schedule goes on for about a month and during that time, Durban will be a hopping, lively, exciting place to be. If you can afford it.

Hotel accommodation in the city is running at over $1,000USD per night during the games. Despite the cost, hotel rooms during the World Cup are filling up fast and downtown Durban promises to be very crowded as the world's greatest football teams match for the Cup.

Where will you be during the games? At home, watching them on television, hoping to catch some of the excitement through the screen? Or do you plan to be there in the mix, amongst the fans and the players, seeing the games live?

The FIFA World Cup is an event like no other. Seeing it live is a once in a lifetime experience that is not to be missed. The games are just part of the experience, however. The whole event, the city, and the people who attend for that month of the Cup are all a part of it. What's the best way to soak in all of the grandeur and excitement that is the World Cup in Durban?

Simply put, it's to be there and to do it the fun way. How about camping just minutes from downtown, just minutes from the beach, and just minutes from the stadium? What if that camping included meals, access to showers and restrooms, and a large, indoor area with a big screen television playing the games all the time?

Well, that you can have.

Why not make it one big tailgate party with your friends at a fraction of the cost of a hotel in Durban? School will be out for the events and so we've secured campgrounds at two of the best local schools to accommodate World Cup attendees in 2010.

The Northlands Primary School has everything you need to enjoy your time during football's greatest moment. Ten minutes' walk from the beach, two minutes from local restaurants and shopping, and just minutes from the stadium and the games, this is a primary location for the FIFA World Cup attendee!

Join us in the best way the FIFA World Cup can be seen during these historic 2010 games in June. For a fraction of a hotel, you can have the experience of a lifetime in South Africa's Durban!

Accommodation Still Available at Safari Lodges in South Africa - FIFA World Cup 2010

Good news... there is still accommodation available at several Big Five private Safari Lodges in South Africa. After consulting with a range of safari lodges and obtaining their booking schedules (which are changing on a daily basis), it is clear that there is still availability. At this point in time many safari lodges still have some available lodgings, ranging from several 3 night openings to one of the smaller lodges having taken no bookings at all and being open to negotiate a block booking (accommodation for 24 persons) for the entire World Cup period!

Even better news... many of the smaller lodges have not hiked their prices at all during the FIFA World Cup period. In fact, several lodges have even retained their low season special rates during this period!!! This is in sharp contrast to many hotels and guest houses where prices have been raised beyond belief (up to 10 times the normal tariff) and football enthusiasts can expect to pay in the region of R5,000 per night for a double room! In tough economic times, such "flash in the pan" tactics tend to be counter-productive. Every tourist wants to go home feeling they've had value for money and a worthwhile experience! We would like them to come back, after all.

So... great news for any football fans who already have their World Cup tickets. It may be far more affordable to stay in a Big Five Safari Lodge than in a hotel or guest house. What could be better? Why come all the way to South Africa and miss the opportunity of a unique safari experience?

When planning your accommodation, the location of the stadiums is an important consideration. Some safari lodges based in Mpumalanga and Gauteng are ideally situated for matches at Soccer City, Loftus Versfeld, Royal Bafokeng and the Peter Mokaba Stadiums. Lodges in the Greater Kruger Park are perfect stopovers for matches at Mbombela in Nelspruit.
