City:Cape Town
Stadium: Green Point Stadium

Geographically often described as a little piece of Europe at the tip of Africa, it would come as no surprise that Cape Town was chosen by Jan Van Riebeck in 1652 as the ideal replenishing station for trading ships that travel between Europe and India. Modern day Cape Town is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world., it is also the home of Rhino Africa Safaris! There are few cities in the world that can compare. Laid back and interesting, Cape Town is the perfect holiday destination to visit if you are looking to enjoy great weather, beautiful beaches, great food, vibrant people and more.

Travel to Cape Town and you will discover that an enticing mix of modern vibrancy, fascinating history and exceptional natural beauty… all rubbing shoulders with the magic of the iconic Table Mountain. Cape Malay, centuries-old Dutch and British architecture, sit cheek by jowl, with cutting edge 21st century loft apartments and sleek skyscrapers. Sit a while in South Africa’s ‘mother city’ and enjoy the timeless buzz and bustle of flower sellers, buskers and craft markets.

The Houses of Parliament are just around the corner, as is the sensational Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, the hottest and happening part of the city, with boutique shops, the fun and entertaining Two Oceans Aquarium and innumerable great restaurants from which to watch the comings and goings of the world’s finest ships, cruise liners and luxury yachts. A short ride away is legendary Robben Island and the prison cell of Nelson Mandela the world loved and admired former president of South Africa.

Travel to Cape Town and whale watch in Hermanus, or cage dive with great white sharks off Gansbaai. From ambling through the beautiful botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch, to wine tasting at any of our legendary wine estates – there’s no doubt that Cape Town offers a vast kaleidoscope of travel experience.

One of the most artistic football venues in South Africa, the newly-built Green Point Stadium is situated in one of the much sought-after areas in the city of Cape Town. Green Point Stadium is one of the two semi-final venues for the FIFA World Cup™. The stadium, which has an exterior that is covered with noise-reducing cladding has a capacity of 70,000 and wasr completed in December 2009.
