Come home for the World Cup

What better place than home to enjoy the 2010 FIFA World Cup™? At Maropeng (“returning to the place of origin” in Tswana) we have a packed itinerary for all of our visitors, both local and international.

Are you African, Asian, European, North or South American? Are you adventurous, exploring other cultures and cuisines, or do you prefer the flavour of something a little closer to home?

Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, Maropeng can cater for your needs. Just for 11 June to 11 July, 2010 we’ve put together a menu with foods from around the world.

With Mexican Tarascan tomato soup as a starter; a choice of French Dijon rump steak, Thai chicken and prawn curry, or grilled butterfish with Algerian dukah for mains; and Mississippi Mud Pie made with a base of pecan nuts and Californian almonds as dessert, it will feel like you never left home. And these are just a small selection of what we’ll be cooking up.

After enjoying their meal, soccer supporters can gather in the cocktail bar to watch the World Cup matches and highlights daily from 10h00 until 17h00.

Those less inclined to watch the footsy football display can take their feet on a tour of Maropeng’s world-class exhibits.

To tour operators who don’t yet have plans for their visitors and South Africans looking for ways to entertain foreign football-loving family: why not bring them to Maropeng for an unforgettable experience of both home and away.
