Acclaimed as one of the world's most beautiful cities, Cape Town is among the top destinations for long-haul incentive travel.
With such an amazing array of fantastic sights, a rich and varied cultural heritage, unique venues and locations as well as many luxurious accommodations to select from, it is easy to understand why the majority of our clients nominate Cape Town as their destination of choice.
Table Mountain is the ultimate backdrop to an exciting and unique incentive programme. A variety of hotels and establishments in and around the city boast spectacular views of the mountain and surrounds as well as a plethora of amenities to keep guests happy. When not conferencing at one of Cape Town's world class meeting venues, there are also a multitude of activities that will keep guests enthralled!
A Moroccan style brunch on Signal Hill is a popular way to welcome new arrivals. A guided city tour followed by cocktails atop Table Mountain introduces the culture and history of the region and shows off the historical landmarks and spectacular vistas that this city is so well-known for. Shopping or "dine around” opportunities at the famous V&A Waterfront are ultimate leisure time options. A boat trip to Robben Island allows guests to follow Madiba's path to freedom. A township tour introduces another aspect of Cape Town's rich and diverse culture to visitors who are new to South Africa. A light lunch at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is a superb way to highlight the rich biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
There are a number of day trips around the Peninsula which provide excellent opportunities for memorable group experiences as well as team-building activities. A journey through the stunning Cape Winelands can include a cellar tour followed by wine blending or grape stomping competitions and a sumptuous picnic lunch in historic vineyards. A Peninsula tour can encompass the rugged beauty of Cape Point Nature Reserve, along with unusual activities such as paddling with penguins or whale watching. A delicious seafood buffet beside the harbour in historic Simonstown will complement this programme.
Travelling by fun bus, coach, vintage car, tuktuk or motorcycle side-car are but a few of the thrilling ways to get around Cape Town and the Peninsula.
Self drive treasure hunts and adventure rallies allow groups to meet the people of the Cape and familiarise themselves with all that the Cape has to offer. For those with a desire for more adventure, activities such as high speed water sports, sand boarding, abseiling, hiking, mountain biking and shark cage diving are but a few of the popular "adrenalin fuelled” options on offer. Getting involved with one of the many community projects in and around Cape Town is also an excellent way to contribute to social upliftment and promote sustainability during your stay.
This region also plays host to an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and function venues with sufficient variety to cater to every patron's tastes - be it a preference for fine dining at a Michelin star restaurant in Franschhoek or a relaxed "braai” meal between massive granite boulders overlooking the sea. Themed dinners accompanied by uniquely African entertainment are another wonderful way to experience more of South Africa's colourful culture.
With the promise of such a feast of unforgettable moments, Cape Town has rightly earned its title as the jewel at the tip of Africa!
