Coach Pim Verbeek told reporters the early arrival would give the team more time to acclimitise to the high altitude of some of the host cities.
"For everybody, this is a new experience to train and to play in altitude," he said at Johannesburg's OR Tambo airport.
"So we have to find out how it works and what we can do the upcoming days, we still have work to do, but that's why we have 15, 16 days to prepare ourselves."
FIFA's 20th ranked side have based themselves near Johannesburg and will face Denmark in a friendly on June 1.
"We're looking forward to starting tomorrow with two training sessions to find out how it is, and how the fields are and how it is to train under these circumstances, so that's the plan for the upcoming days," he said.
"So tomorrow I have my full selection on the field, maybe one player that needs a few days longer, but for the rest tomorrow everyone is here."
