FIFA World Cup 2010: Vuvuzela will not be banned

After some complaints from commentators, players and international audiences it has now been decided by FIFA that it will be “a World Cup with African sound”. The vuvuzela, is a “plastic trumpet”, approximately one metre in length, commonly blown by fans at football matches in South Africa. The sound can be irritating: Like an elephant, a swarm of angry bees, a fog horn - whatever it is, it is loud! Despite of the sound the vuvuzela will not be banned at Dreamfields Guesthouse either.
Enjoy the 2010 FIFA World Cup™!

FIFA World Cup 2010: Only 321 days remaining to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ matches will be held in 10 stadiums: two in Johannesburg and one in each of the other eight host cities. Together, the 10 stadiums will host 64 matches and seat more than 570 000 people during the course of tournament. Five of the 10 are existing stadiums, which are being upgraded, with Soccer City - venue of the opening and final match - undergoing a major upgrade. The other five stadiums are being built from scratch.

Like most of the people, Dreamfields Guesthouse is waiting for the Final Draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ on the 04 December 2009 to find out who will be playing in the newly built Mbombela stadium in Nelspruit.
But not only the fans that will attend the games in Nelspruit will combine this football event with a visit to the Kruger National Park. The World Cup is held in winter and this region offers a dry winter with cold nights and lovely sunny days, the perfect season for game viewing.

Dreamfields Guesthouse offers accomodation during the world cup, click here to check availability and book online.

Weather in Hazyview

Check out the current weather and forecast for Hazyview!

Sports Fever

Over the last two months South Africa hosted three big sporting events. The 2009 Confederations Cup, the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Lions Rugby Tour took the country by storm!
The IPL showed the country`s flexibility to host a tournament with only a couple of weeks notice, after the IPL was moved from Sri Lanka to South Africa due to security concerns.
The biggest event – especially for this region- was the Lions Tour. Tens of thousands of UK tourists came to see the test matches with South Africa`s Springboks. All Open Safari Vehicles available in the Kruger National Park had been sold out months before the tournament after thousands of Lions fans descended on the Sabie Valley region to enjoy the Park between the games in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
South Africa proved that it is possible!

Why Hazyview is the best place to be...

Hazyview is the gateway to the Kruger National Park (only 10 kms from Phabeni, 18 kms from Numbi and 42 kms from Paul Kruger Gate) right on the Panorama Route Hazyview is also an excellent stopping off point for many of Mpumalanga’s points of interest, the Blyde River Canyon, Pilgrim’s Rest, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and amazing waterfalls..
Hazview is reputed to have the best climate in the world for bananas and you will see row upon row of these lush tropical plantations as well as a wide variety of other fruit and coffee farms.
Many visitors to Kruger National Park stay overnight in Hazyview rather than in the park itself, as it is quite close by and has a good choice of restaurants. Activities in and around Hazyview include horse trails, hiking and hot-air ballooning in and over the colourful Mpumalanga countryside. We can arrange all activities and Safaris for you!
Come and experience it yourself!

Hazyview: Balloons over Africa

One of the activities you should not miss during your stay at Dreamfields Guesthouse:

Balloons over Africa is a commercial hot air balloon company established in 1997. Kevin Roberson is the pilot and has more than 20 years and 2000 flying hours experience. Balloons over Africa offers scenic hot air balloon flights in the beautiful Sabie River valley, near Hazyview in Mpumalanga.

Flights begin in the valley and float over orchards and bush, or forest and hills, and end where the wind has taken you.

Ballooning is a gentle adventure, and experience like no other. This is a graceful and romantic way of looking down on the earth. Drifting at wind speed the ride is calm, and the spectacular wraparound view can be experienced in no other way.

Kruger National Park: Most amazing day
