The Peter Makaba Stadium is one of the five new stadiums built for the tournament in South Africa. Once built it will hold more than 46,000 people. Although the matches are taking place through the winter, the climate in Polokwane is warmer and drier than other host cities. If you are not familiar with the lay of the land then consult a reputable travel agent who is familiar with the city and who can craft the perfect World Cup package or world cup packages for you and your family.

The tournament begins with the opening ceremony and first match in Johannesburg. The first match in Polokwane takes place on  June 13th. Four more group matches will follow on different days. Polokwane would make a nice base for touring, since there are few people, and the massive crowds of tourists will not descend on this city, instead opting to stay in Johannesburg and or Cape Town. For this reason, prices and sightseeing opportunities may be much more affordable. Find out what the advantages are for staying in Polokwane rather that the other host cities.

It is important to act early when choosing to attend the World Cup, because tickets and cheap travel options will disappear quickly. Affordable world cup packages are available now. Select a package that includes good accommodation, transfers and excursions that fit with your budget. Some of the traits that you want to look for in a good travel or tour agent are flexibility, innovation, an ability to see the fun in what you want to do, a familiarity with the city and the country and a willingness to listen to you and to answer all of your questions. There should be no surprises or hidden fees, once you book your World Cup package. Make sure tickets are included as part of the package. This will make it easier for the travel agent to book you on the right transportation and into the right destination for your fun. As the tournament approaches the prices will go up, so plan and book your trip early.
