Despite fears for the safety of the large influx of spectators to the country and infrastructure not being adequate for an event of this size, the event went off very smoothly with the majority of those who did travel to South Africa for the event having a great travel experience.

The local South African people were very friendly and the infrastructure was more than adequate to house and transport the many visitors to the country. Many of the spectators before, during and after the event took advantage of the many attractions available and undertook South Africa tours including a traditional African safari in one of the many national parks and wildlife reserves in the country.
