Postcard from South Africa
Sitting here in the internet café at Skukuza Camp – in the heart of Kruger National Park, I can only be excited about what lies ahead for our passengers on our FIFA World Cup™ tours in June. In 6 months time we’ll be back here at Skukuza, having the unique experience of watching the World Cup on a big screen in a mini fanzone area, as wildlife wander up to the watering hole just metres below and lions roar in the distance!
“SANParks will definitely provide fantastic viewing venues…a very sociable fan interaction area. We will be selling drinks and creating a really good vibe - this together with lions roaring in the distance should be quite unique!” – James Daniels, SANParks – Skukuza Camp
I’ve been in South Africa for almost a fortnight now, starting with the draw which delivered a “deam draw” for our Socceroos in terms of destinations. (These include Durban, and Nelspruit at the doorstep of Kruger NP, where the AST Tours will be staying!), We will have a fair challenge to advance in playing Germany, Ghana and Serbia, but at least we will be right on the doorstep willing our boys on and I reckon we can get them over the line!
Not only that, we have been able to adjust our itinerary to keep your travel to the matches (and additional costs) to a minimum, as well as incorporating extra non Socceroos matches, including powerhouse teams such as England, Italy and Ivory Coast. Plus we still visit Capetown – South Africa’s most spectacular city.
