South Africa
Situated at the tip of the African continent, South Africa is a must visit destination, superb for the ultimate incentive trip, and an expanding conference location.
Cape Town is one of the world’s best-loved and most beautiful cities. Set against the instantly recognizable backdrop of Table Mountain, this laid back seaside town has something for everyone: plenty of hotels, buzzing outdoor markets, world-class restaurants, a fascinating mix of cultures and plenty of adventure activities from sea to mountain. From the colourful beach huts on Muizenberg Beach to sampling the famous wines from the region, there is plenty to rest the soul after a packed programme.
Johannesburg (colloquially known as Jozi, Joburg, Jo'burg or "The City of Gold") is South Africa's biggest city, which began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. Its history and development into today's vibrant heart of South Africa, offers a rapidly changing city looking optimistically towards the future. Johannesburg is the international hub of South Africa. From O.R. Tambo International Airport, you can fly onward to Cape Town or fly to several safari destinations in South Africa and beyond.
South African safari awaits incentive groups with exquisite landscapes, captivating wildlife, and amazing culture. Offering five-star luxury accommodations – ranging from top game lodges to bespoke boutique hotels – it’s a world-class destination and a true “Rainbow Nation”.

Incentives
Safari & Wildlife - Safari is one of South Africa's most distinctive incentive experiences. Depending on the brief, groups can incorporate private game reserves, luxury lodges, guided wildlife experiences and bush-based dining into an incentive programme.
Cape Town & the Winelands - Cape Town can be combined with Stellenbosch and Franschhoek for programmes centred around wine, food, scenery and private experiences.
Coast & Outdoor Experiences - South Africa's coastline provides opportunities for sailing, water-based activities, beach experiences and outdoor team programmes, depending on the destination and season.
Culture & Local Experiences - Corporate groups can also explore South Africa through its food, history, music, art and communities, creating programmes that go beyond conventional sightseeing.
MICE 360 develops these elements into bespoke incentive itineraries, matching experiences to the group profile, objectives and budget rather than simply following a standard tour programme.
