The English team arrive at Johannesburg's OR Tambo airport on Thursday morning before heading north-west to their World Cup base in Rustenburg.
The newly built multi-million pound Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus will be England's home during the tournament.
Capello signed a new deal on Wednesday committing him to the role until 2012.
The Italian had been linked with a move to Inter Milan, while Lord Triesman's recent departure as the Football Association's chairman was reported to have unsettled him.
But Capello signed an amended deal which removed the break clause allowing either party to end the contract after the World Cup.
The news provided a fresh angle for England fans after the unexpected story of Arsenal winger Theo Walcott's omission from the final squad.
The 21-year-old was named in the starting line-up of both of England's recent friendly victories against Mexico and Japan, but his performances were not enough to convince Capello of a World Cup place.
