Adventure Camps for the 2010 World Cup

Lathita Tailor Made Travel have come up with aq new concept for accommodation for the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa. This comprises of adventure camps offering accommodation and activities. The camps will all be trategically located to offer visitors to South Africa a unique environment and experience. The one main aim for these camps is to offer visitors accommodation which is comfortable and still affordable. Being the year of the World Cup many accommodation providors increased rates significantly and this is making it quite expensive to visit for an extended period of time. This together with activities in the different regions can now again become affordable for everytone.

The Lathita Adventure Camps are situated in Rustenburg (Host City), Port Elizabeth (Host City) and the Garden Route. These are the camps currently being set up and Lathita will have these ready and operational. Lathita is also looking at alternative options in other destinations and will ad these to the portfolio as and when this is done.

All of the adventure camps will offer different style of accommodation. This will range from Double rooms, safari tents, and camping sites. All of the options will have a viewing area for the games that the guests cannot attend. Meals and drinks will be on offer and the meals can also be pre-booked. In adition to this extra activities will also be on offer at each destination.

In conclution Lathita will keep on working with this concept and will keep everyone informed on any new developments. Should you require any aditional information please feel free to get in touch with Johan Gerber at johan@lathita.co.za.

Port Elizabeth, a Host City

The City of Port Elizabeth will be hosting a number of the World Cup Football matches in 2010 and on top of that one of these matches will be a semi final match. The city has been put down in many blogs and articles that it is not a good tourist destination and that people should avoid staying over. This is a tag that the World Cup will hopefully remove as this can be one of the best cities to include on you holiday to South Africa. With perfect beaches, whale watching, dolphin cruises, diving, hikes, a rich history and friendly people this should become part of any visitors program. There is something for everyone, especially active and sport loving travelers. The many excellent quality golf courses and some of the best watersport beaches this is a place for any active and sport lover. The rich history and many historical buidings and art galaries will have art lovers entertained for some time. The same can be said for safari and game viewing activities. The world famous Addo Elephant park, Tsitsikamma National Park and the Baviaans Nature Reserve are only a view amongst many game and wilderness rich parks in the region.

To enjoy all of this and still have money in you pocket there are many types of accommodation availible. From Backpackers to luxury guest houses and compared to other host cities Port Elizabeth does offer more value for many and a lot of options that will not be possible at other host cities.
