Marriage Proposal at Abangane

Yesterday we arranged a special set up for 2 special people at Abangane Guest Lodge in Hazyview. The table was laid at the Gazebo in the middle of the garden, away and secluded from our other guests. A very romantic atmosphere with roses, candle light, lanterns and a good bottle of Champagne set the scene for Mark to propose the marriage to Bianca.

Her answer is written in her face!

Wavin' Flag, 2010 World Cup song

Wavin' Flag by Somali-Canadian K'naan Warsame has been chosen as the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. A remixed version of the song will be released in 150 countries next year in support of the event. Warsame has been touring Africa on the FIFA World Cup Trophy tour by Coca-Cola for the past two months.

I am sure we at Abangane Guest Lodge in Hazyview will be playing this song for all the soccer fans who overnight at our Lodge when following their team's games at the close by Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

Interesting facts about crime in South Africa

I recently came across an interesting article with regards to crime in South Africa.
As this is often a topic discussed on travel forums, not only in connection with the World Cup 2010, I thought to share this information with you. It really serves for some interesting reading:

In 4 years of operation, all our guests arrived back home safe and sound, have not had any of those "BAD" experiences and would love to come back to South Africa and Abangane Guest Lodge any day!

FIFA 2010 Worldcup draw done!

The long awaited final draw has come to it's conclusion. The unknown factor of where and when your team will be kicking JABULANI, the official FIFA World Cup soccer ball, is solved. The show was spectacular, portraying true South African style and culture, overshadowing even Charlize Theron.
We have been interested in where Germany will be playing and even more who will be playing in Nelspruit/Mbombela at this beautiful stadium featuring Giraffe and Zebra in design and architecture.

The scheduled games for the Mbombela Stadium are as follows:
16.06.2010 Honduras vs. Chile
20.06.2010 Italy vs. New Zealand
23.06.2010 Australia vs. Serbia
25.06.2010 Korea DPR vs. Cote d'Ivoire

Germany will be playing (besides the finals as we hope):
13.06.2010 in Durban vs. Australia
18.06.2010 in Port Elizabeth vs. Serbia
23.06.2010 in Johannesburg vs. Ghana

With app. 60 km distance to the Mbombela stadium, Abangane Guest Lodge still has got availability and would love to accommodate you during your trip to South Africa, following your team and enjoying this unique country.
