Things to consider for your next safari…
There’s so much more that goes into creating the perfect business or leisure trip than meets the eye, especially here in Africa where the options are often overwhelming. So here are a few of the things to think about when planning your next incentive, business or leisure trip…
Less is more
That’s the trend where incentive groups are concerned, with smaller groups being booked on to itineraries featuring higher quality accommodation options and activities, maximising the “wow” factor, and reducing the logistical challenges larger groups incur.
Safaris to wilderness destinations featuring intimate, exclusive-use camps and lodges are the perfect option, offering lots of flexibility and absolute focus. We are able to offer exceptional private safaris with itineraries packed with unique activities tailored especially for smaller groups, allowing your team to get the maximum impact out of their trip to Africa.
Be the difference
Making a lasting difference to people and planet is a core requirement for a growing number of companies where incentive and corporate group travel is concerned. Knowing that the budget spent is going to have a positive impact through the use of demonstrably sustainable destinations is of huge importance, which is why we work hard to select products renowned for their community and conservation ethics.
This allows you to rest easy in the knowledge that your travel spend is contributing directly to programmes and projects that are changing the face of responsible tourism in Africa.
We don’t do “window-dressing” and go the extra mile to ensure that the products we incorporate into our itineraries are doing what they say they do, supporting people and planet alike.
VFM – value for money
Getting the biggest bang for your buck is a prime consideration when choosing destinations for your MICE business, all of which is good news where South Africa is concerned.
The home of “VFM” – value for money – favourable exchange rates against the Euro, Pound and Dollar make the Rainbow Nation an excellent choice when stretching travel budgets. And while airfares the world over are continuing to climb, comparitive spend on the ground here in South Africa is unbeatable across both accommodation, transfers and activities with our clients spending less for considerably more.
This means you can make your budget go further in South Africa than anywhere else in Africa, allowing you to splash out on activities and little extras that will translate to outstanding experiences for your team and executives alike.
The domino effect
It’s an undisputed fact that corporate travel leads to leisure bookings, especially here in Africa where spending time on business whets the appetite for more exploration with family and friends.
Attending a conference in Cape Town, for example, opens the eyes to the possibilities for fantastic South African vacations with a few days in the adventuring on the Cape peninsula paired with a safari. An incentive trip to a game reserve often translates to a family safari further down the line. And time spent having meetings in vibrant African cities piques interest in exploring and discovering more about the countries they are in.
The domino effect of business travel has a positive impact on everyone involved, which is always a legacy to be proud of.
