Namibia 'to offer great value' during World Cup
20 Nov 2009
Travellers who want to avoid South Africa's high prices during the 2010 World Cup period will find better value in Namibia, according to the country's tourist board.
Namibia Tourism compared the price of a safari holiday in the two countries, finding that a ten-night break in Namibia is cheaper than a nine-night stay in South Africa.
The southern African country will also offer more flexibility in terms of travel, the organisation claimed, as demand for flights to the World Cup host nation will be so high that customers will have limited choice.
Maureen Posthuma, Namibia Tourism's area manager for Europe, said: 'The fares to Windhoek have been held at their usual level for this period so people are not deterred from visiting Namibia during the World Cup 2010.
'We are pleased to continue welcoming visitors to Namibia throughout this period and it is great that holidaymakers don't need to avoid the southern regions of the continent during such a popular period.'
Namibia offers the chance for visitors to try various activities, including off-road driving and wildlife spotting in Etosha National Park.
