BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO

The event was extremely well planned and executed and achieved exactly the result we had hoped for. I was particularly pleased at the way your team seamlessly blended with my event team and nothing was ever too much trouble. It is nice to work with a DMC who has a similar ethos to ours. It is obvious that you have a wonderful rapport with all of your suppliers. The respect you have for each other is evident and the service delivery provided by each of them was exemplary. Grosvenor Incentives would have to be one of the most professional companies we have worked with.

EXEMPLARY SERVICE!

OUR Destination

We love representing South Africa, we have spent so much time there it’s a country dear to our hearts. With thousands of miles of spectacular coasts, breath-taking mountains, including Table Mountain, one of the seven natural wonders of the modern world, South Africa oozes destination appeal for MICE groups to enjoy. Picture-postcard award-winning wine farms include Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek and Constantia. Stunning sweeping Savana grasslands and plains provide some of the world’s most exciting and beloved game reserves like the world-renowned Kruger National Park. In all, the jaw-dropping and ever-changing landscape ensures all who visit South Africa will want to return, for business or pleasure.

MICE Motivations:

Given South Africa’s diverse geography, there’s a plethora of unique and memorable places to host. Travelling to South Africa is more than just work – it’s an experience.

VIBRANT CITIES

South Africa is famed for its friendly people as we can vouch, we’ve had first-hand experience of working with them for many years. Cape Town is naturally the top of the destination list when it comes to vibrant cities to visit. There is so much to explore in the Mother City; bustling markets, award winning world cuisine, sailing, paragliding, fun bistros and bars. Take your group to visit the V&A Waterfront then onto Robin Island, greet the seals in Kalk Bay, be inspired by world class hotels peppering the coast and then relax in the stunning Kirstenbosch Gardens. But Cape Town’s just the tip of the iceberg, many MICE groups will want to travel further afield to the vibrant city of Johannesburg, the economic, business and entertainment hub. And of course, don’t forget Sun City specifically designed to cater for any MICE event. South Africa has a city to accommodate everyone’s taste.

MICE Motivations:

Cape Town offers every facility your group could need in a stunning location.
Easy to reach world renowned locations help create a varied exciting travel itinerary.
Sun City can cater for larger groups – and still offer the wilderness experience within a day.
Johannesburg is an equally practical destination for hosting – and offers an incredible varied culture.
