OUR Destination
TANZANIA
If Tanzania isn’t near the top of your list for a MICE go to destination, we’ll be happy to change your mind. Straddling the one of the geological wonders of the world, The Great East African Rift Valley, Tanzania is all about majestic and migration. Famed for a land defined by pre-historic human migration, today it’s the perfect place to bring a MICE group to witness the spectacular annual wildlife movements, in Tanzania’s famed Serengeti National Park, a place of open savannahs and unending plains, punctuated by the distinct flat-topped acacia trees. The vast herds of easy-to-spot animals above the open grasslands are legendary. The Ngorongoro Crater is another memorable outdoor MICE excursion. The remanence of a large volcano which erupted and whose caldera collapsed in on itself, today it’s the world’s largest inactive unfilled volcanic crater creating a haven for wildlife, like the large flocks of flamingos resident on the crater’s floor. Tanzania also offers tropical Zanzibar island escapes, and mountain climbing opportunities to bond a group through a memorable outdoor activity. Mount Kilimanjaro which rises above the plains within Kilimanjaro National Park provides opportunities for hiking enthusiasts to climb Africa’s highest mountain amidst totally unique surroundings.
MICE Motivations:
- International flights access from the UK with seamless connections via Europe and the Middle East into Kilimanjaro, Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar.
- Vying to host your MICE groups are first class hotels, lodges and tented camps like Four Seasons, Melia, Singita and One Nature’s Nyaruswiga – perfect for exclusive use!
- A MICE trip to the Serengeti is unforgettable. Immersing yourself in this majestic landscape lifts the mind and soul in a way that’s guaranteed to revigorated and enthuse your party.
- At night you can discuss work, hold a workshop, or simply relax in the African air and take in the landscape around you.
KENYA
Synonymous with majestic African scenery, wildlife, and the traditional semi-nomadic people who roam here, Kenya, like Tanzania, holds its own as a MICE destination. The Maasai Mara offers a rich fusion of wildlife and the cultural tradition of its tribal people, an exuberant people distinguished by their vibrant red dress, elaborate jewellery, and particular way of dancing. Embrace the opportunity to visit these people and learn more about them and their ways. Group visits to the Amboseli National Park will enjoy the best views of Mount Kilimanjaro, which also form the picture-perfect backdrop to hundreds of Africa’s ‘Big-Tuskers’. Game viewing here is outstanding, and the lush wetlands provide beautiful scenery. The freshwater Lake Naivasha is a world-class birding destination with floating islands of papyrus reeds. It’s also home to hippos and giraffes. Travel on to Lake Nakuru a spectacular soda lake, renowned for its outstanding numbers of flamingo which flock to the warm, alkaline waters, creating a riot of colours; pinks, blues and greens. Nakuru is also a sanctuary for Black and White Rhinos. Other treasures to visit include the dramatic and scenic Hell’s Gate National Park, where hiking, beautiful cliffs and gorges and wildlife viewing opportunities merge into a spectacular guest experience. Mount Kenya – Africa’s second highest mountain, coming in at a close second – also makes its home here in Kenya. And of course key to your MICE trip, all the above is just a stone’s throw from a plethora of top-class hotels and conference centres.
MICE Motivations:
- Direct international flight access from the UK with British Airways, Kenya Airways and with multiple European and Middle Eastern carries, making Kenya access for small and large group events.
- Nairobi offers an outstanding portfolio of hotels to start your African adventure including Fairmont, Kempinski & Hemingway’s, and a selection of lodges to accommodate any group budget, to name a few of our favourites – Angama Mara, Governors Camps & Elsa’s Kopje Lodge!
- If you’re looking to provide the ‘Out of Africa’ experience for your MICE group, Kenya won’t disappoint.
RWANDA
A MICE trip to Rwanda allows you to discover remote, verdant volcanic mountains, sanctuaries home to gorillas, and lush thriving tea and coffee plantations. Visit the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat with a guided trek through the misty Virunga Mountains in Volcanoes National Park. This is also the place to go in search of the endemic Golden Monkey, a troop of which has been habituated and lives in the bamboo forests on the lower volcanic slopes. Touring the tea and coffee plantations near Nyungwe National Park and Gishwati Forest National Park provides an engaging insight into Rwanda’s important economic activities. Tea is Rwanda’s largest export and its coffee beans are in serious demand, too! Take a group tour and learn about the life of tea and coffee before it reaches your shelves back home. The country also encompasses the African Great Lakes region offering beautiful lakes perfect to explore at leisure. In stark contrast, remote open savannahs in the east provide safari opportunities off the beaten track, meaning Rwanda holds considerable appeal for MICE incentives in its land of hidden beauty.
MICE Motivations
- Excellent connectivity from UK regional airports via European hubs to include Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris, or via Nairobi.
- Outstanding selection of international hotels catering for every group’s needs; including The Marriott, Radisson Blue, Singita, and One & Only,
