Direct Sales Cosmetics Company
The aspect which makes this cosmetic company interesting is that they travelled to Southern Africa 4 times within a period of 7 years. They initially travelled to Cape Town and followed this up with a safari to Phinda. Sun City followed and finally they went to Zambia and stayed at the Royal Livingstone. For them to keep returning speaks volumes of the success of each incentive. Importantly, they were able to return and have a very different experience each time within Southern Africa.
Golf Incentive - Tyre Company
A leading tyre company returned to South Africa for 3 consecutive years - again demonstrating the value, variety and success of the destination. This incentive demonstrates the true variety of options available within the destination. 3 Excellent golf resorts hotels provided incentives of such a standard that the demand for more was there. There are fantastic golfing options in South Africa which can be used as the basis of the incentive or simply as an optional day on a conference or incentive.
Young Presidents Association (YPO) - California Coast Chapter
This particular YPO programme demonstrates the range of experiences which can be built into an itinerary. The programme covered safari lodges in and adjacent to the Kruger National Park, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls and Cape Town. This was all made possible by the use of charter planes. It was not just the different locations but also the content that made this programme so special. Guests speakers, visits to townships and AIDS orphanages to grape stomping in the winelands gave added depth to the experience for all the participants.
International Association Meeting
A core requirement for an international industry association meeting held in Cape Town was for flexible post tours, given the nature of the location for the conference. This was achieved through promoting a range of options through a specifically designed website and attending to people's individual needs and requirements rather than attempting to channel people into one of a few pre-selected tour options. One of the drawcards which South Africa has to offer as a conference destination is this range of pre and post tour options.
Printing Company
An intense programme showcasing the best of Tanzania was requested for an international group of 60 people. Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara provided the safari experience and our partnership with CC Africa proved to be invaluable here. 3 Days relaxing on the white sands of Zanzibar completed the experience.
Insurance Company
An incentive company wanted to repeat their African incentive 10 years after visiting South Africa but with something different. Kenya provided the solution and the easy access into Nairobi from Europe allowed for a night at the historic Norfolk Hotel, before the short flight to Kichwa Tembo. 3 Nights in the Masai Mara provided a whole new safari experience with hot air ballooning and a Masai interaction.
Cement Conference
A cement conference organiser brought a conference to Cape Town. This was a real commitment to Africa as it was a departure from the regular destinations for this particular conference. It proved to be a real success drawing in strong local support as well as an improved level of delegates from Africa and the Middle East - demonstrating the value of Cape Town as a conference destination.
Advertising Company
The brief for this incentive was to find a place where the company could camp in the bush, initially on a participation basis but building up to a night of extreme luxury. A mobile tented camp was set up in a wilderness area within the Pilanesberg National Park. The camp was equipped for 90 people and included electric fences to deter any dangerous animals from entering the camp area. 2 nights under canvas included game drives within the reserve, team building and informative sessions on bush skills. The final night saw the group move out of the Pilanesberg into the Palace Hotel at Sun City for a night of true luxury and a memorable gala dinner.
The tented camps are a wonderful option for larger groups who want to build team spirit and want to keep everyone together during the safari stage of the incentive. Groups of up to 120 can be accommodated in luxury tents.
