2 Forward We are so blessed to live in Southern Africa! It is indeed a world in one country and there are few global destinations that can match the concentrated diversity our region offers. For incentives, meetings and specialised itineraries, the choices are vast and the experiences so different that often, it is akin to running three or four destination experiences in one. From vibrant and cosmopolitan Cape Town with white beaches, mountains, incredible wines, great and inexpensive food, perfect Mediterranean climate, amazing views and first class infrastructure, to the plains and savannahs of the North, where the big 5 roam freely and the adventure of 4x4 safaris it all contributes to a blissful overload of all the senses. If that s not enough, we have the untamed waters of the truly magnificent Victoria Falls and mighty Zambezi, the beautiful dunes and unspoiled coastline of Namibia and to the East, the sub-tropical lushness of KwaZulu-Natal and the tropical, crystal clear waters and pure white beaches of Mozambique, not forgetting the vastness of the perfect African sky. We are a warm, open and welcoming Nation - where friendliness is a way of life and a region so rich in cultural heritage - a true melting pot of African, Asian, Indian, Malay and European flavours, tastes and traditions.
