Rustenburg do not have sufficient accommodations and support
services to support international visitors.MATCH, the
official accommodations operator for 2010 FIFA World Cup South
Africa™; has recommended that FIFA World Cup™ visitors stay
in larger cities (Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg) and only travel
to these outlying areas on the day of the event. Great Atlantic
Travel will be offering a wide range of hotels for your stay during
the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.
International and Domestic
Flights: During the 2010 FIFA World Cup™;, airline
reservations into South Africa will be at an absolute premium.
Therefore, it is critical to reserve your seats as early as
possible to get the best air schedule and prices available. Choice
routing from major cities worldwide will undoubtedly sell out
quickly for this exciting international event. Your flight
arrangements can be handled by your personal travel agent, or by

Ground
Transportation: The transportation program of the FIFA
World Cup™ will ensure the smooth movement of fans, FIFA officials,
associates, and media. As importantly, a vastly improved public
transport system will be secured as one of the legacies for South
Africa. A great deal of the transport preparations are happening at
host city level. However, equally as important is moving visitors
across the country. Distance travel will be offered by taxis,
buses, passenger rail, luxury coaches, tour packages, private
car-hire companies, and domestic aviation. South Africa will
temporarily increase its operational capacity for distance travel -
primarily by making available additional vehicles and improving
operational efficiencies. The Department of Transportation is
preparing to provide a fleet of 2,035 luxury and standard buses, 60
train sets, and 1,000 bus coaches. Some 1400 luxury coaches are
being procured. There will be a train available every five minutes
in peak times and train services 14 - 16 hours a day throughout the
2010 FIFA World Cup™.
