No matter what your opinion is of football (or soccer as we say here) and the upcoming World Cup, we are convinced that 2010 will be a magical year for South Africa and the rest of the continent. It’s also an exciting year for ZippingZebra as our website enters its first full calendar year. Here are ten suggestions to make 2010 a magic one for you. |

BOOK A HOLIDAY HOME AND FEEL LIKE A KING (WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND LIKE ONE!)
We have hooked up with one of the world’s major players in holiday rentals. That’s why we can now offer a vast collection of holiday rentals at the lowest possible rate. Whether you want a quaint cottage in the Magaliesberg or an exclusive, private estate in the Winelands – we can organise it for you. Our selection is still growing rapidly, so please contact us for accommodation that best suits you. |

EXPERIENCE THE DEEP BLUE
Zipping Zebra takes to the open sea this year with a variety of diving tours and courses. One of our diving specials takes you to the crystal blue waters of Mozambique’s Ponta D’Ouro. Other specials include a four day diving experience in Cape Town where you can come face-to-face with the great white – thankfully protected by a shark proof cage. Also new are our sailing tours, excursions and courses. |

GO WILD THIS YEAR!
Southern Africa is often named in one breath with safaris, wildlife and game viewing - and rightfully so! We have designed a few example itineraries for wildlife enthusiasts but you can also design your own. Our travel guide also has a wildlife section with information on the Big 5, other animals and national parks.

EXPLORE THE LIMITS OF YOUR PHYSICAL ABILITIES
Want to push yourself to the limit? Well, South Africa is the place to be. Experience the pride of finishing the Cape Argus, Comrades Marathon or the Dusi Canoe Marathon. See our events guide for more information. Packages relating to these events coming soon. Interested in participating? Please let us know and we will gladly assist you. |

BE PART OF THE SPORTING EVENT OF THE YEAR
2010, South Africa… The time has come! Be part of the FIFA World Cup and visit South Africa when it hosts the very first World Cup on African soil. You don’t even have to have tickets, the atmosphere at the fan parks will be almost equally exciting. Celebrate the goals, enjoy the excitement and make friends as you collectively celebrate the Beautiful Game. |

 |
... OR GET AWAY FROM THE SPORTING EVENT OF THE YEAR
Not a soccer/football fan and feeling “unlucky” to live in one of the host cities? Can’t wait to escape the “party of the century”? This year we will release some “not a stadium in sight”-packages especially for you. As the prizes of the venues in host cities soar, those in places far away from the action will be going for a song… |

FEEL WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A WINNER
A new year means new prizes. Chloe and Dalene have already enjoyed theirs. Can you be the next winner? The odds are much higher than at the lotto and all you have to is become a fan of our facebook page… So tell all your friends about it, they might want to share the prize with you... |

GET MARRIED IN AFRICA!
Africa is one of the most romantic places on earth. So who would you rather share it with than the one you love? Other than romantic tours and honeymoons, we can even organise an African wedding for you and your loved one! For those already married or those happily in love couples that simply don’t hear wedding bells yet, we also have a few romantic tours on offer. |
|
|
 |
BREAK AWAY FROM IT ALL
We have a growing number of “breakaways” for South Africans who want to get away from it all or foreign visitors who want to extend their tour with a few days in their region of choice. Please let us know about your personal wishes for breakaways, we can probably make it happen. |

JOIN THE FAMILY!
We strongly believe in interacting with our clients. The tours you see on our website are just a selection of what we can offer. That’s why we’d love to hear from you about your dream holiday or getaway. Other ways you can interact with us is join our forum, posting photos in our gallery or simply by contacting us . We always appreciate to hear from you and you will get an answer back soonest. You think we should your photo/video or recommendation on our website? Let us know.

Our trip was absolutely awesome. We were treated like royalty and the kids had an absolute blast. Isolated quiet and yet so many things for the kids to do and explore. We had such a great time that the kids are harassing me when we can go back, and that is one thing I will do is go back.
