Accommodation in South Africa for 2010 FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup in South Africa kicks off on June 11 2010 and keen football fans the world over will be flocking to the country. England have qualified and you'll need somewhere to rest your head if you want to cheer the team on from the stadium. Accommodation is already in high demand for the month long event, but to make things easier for you we've put all World Cup accommodation in one place.

When you're not thinking football take the time to hit the tourist trail. Cape Town really does have something for everyone. If beaches are your thing, then head to Clifton or Camp's Bay for some serious sunbathing, or get the adrenaline pumping with surfing, kite-surfing, kayaking and any other watersport you can think of. Keen walkers will be spoilt for choice with all the hiking trails that wind through the city's surrounding mountains and forests. While staying in your World Cup accommodation, don't forget to fit in a visit to the Cape winelands, with wine routes including Stellenbosch, Wellington and Franschhoek. No trip to Cape Town would be complete without a visit to Table Mountain - your camera simply won't do the views over the city justice.

Explore South Africa's past at Constitution Hill in Johannesburg. Now home to the country's Constitutional Court, the national heritage site has witnessed over 100 years of South African history. While in Johannesburg discover the biggest art gallery in the subcontinent, or visit the Nelson Mandela House museum and see where the Mandelas lived in the 1960s. The Krugersdorp Game Reserve gives visitors the chance to see the region's grassland species, while the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve contains more than 20 different species of game. If you're a secret geologist, make sure you drop in at Sterkfontain Caves.

The cosmopolitan city of Durban is South Africa's beach capital and boasts the country's only surfing museum. To one side of Durban Bay is an area known as the Point, packed full of places to eat and drink and abandoned Art Deco buildings. One for kids of all ages, uShaka Marine World is an impressive aquarium where you can even snorkel with the fish. You could do far worse than spend your days at the beachfront, which is blessed with continually warm waters. Culture vultures should make a beeline for the BAT centre, an artsy community providing an outlet for Durban's creative folk, with plenty of bars and cafes on the side.

Some 800 miles from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth is known as the Friendly City. Miles of unspoilt coastline make it another haven for watersport enthusiasts, but golf is a must too - don't miss the challenging links course at Humewood. Port Elizabeth is a great spot for whale watching or take a deep sea fishing trip in Algoa Bay. Enjoy a ride on the Apple Express narrow gauge steam train or hire a mountain bike and get peddling along the numerous trails in and around the city. Whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed.

Pretoria, Nelspruit, Rustenburg, Polokwane and Bloemfontain have also been chosen as host cities, presenting you with even more opportunities to explore South Africa. Remember, the early bird catches the worm, so be sure not to miss out on the action.
