Conference Planning & Corporate Event Services in Africa
Africa is one of the world's most compelling destinations for corporate events — and one of the most underused.

We've been organising tailor-made African travel since 1999.

No booking fees. No credit card surcharges. One point of contact throughout.
Tell us your brief and we'll do the rest.
From Boardroom to Bush — Africa's Most Extraordinary Corporate Event Destinations, Venues and Experiences
African Incentive Travel
Reward your top performers with an experience that no city hotel package can match. Africa delivers the extraordinary — private game drives at dawn, helicopter transfers over Victoria Falls, candlelit dinners under southern skies. We build bespoke incentive programmes around your objectives, budget and group profile, from intimate groups of 10 to programmes for 200 or more.
Golf Conference Venues
South Africa in particular offers world-class golf courses with exceptional conference facilities and luxury accommodation under one roof. Mornings in the boardroom, afternoons on the fairway — few formats produce better engagement or return better results. We have strong relationships with the finest golf estate venues across the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
Beach Conference Venues
Put your delegates in front of an Indian Ocean view and watch the energy in the room shift. From Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago to KwaZulu-Natal's Dolphin Coast and Kenya's Diani Beach, our beach venue portfolio covers the finest coastal conference facilities on the continent — with the added incentive of extraordinary leisure options before and after your event.
Bush Conference Venues
There is no more powerful team environment than an exclusive-use safari lodge deep in Big Five territory. Custom-built conference facilities, breakout spaces in the bush, game drives between sessions and star-lit dinners create an atmosphere no city venue can replicate. We work with venues ranging from intimate boardroom-style lodges for 12 to larger bush conference facilities accommodating 80 or more delegates.
Team Building in Africa
We design and source bespoke team-building programmes that use Africa's extraordinary environments as their backdrop. White-water rafting on the Zambezi, community conservation projects in the Kruger, cultural immersion in Maasai country, township food tours in Cape Town — every programme is purpose-built around your team's objectives, fitness levels and group dynamics.
Pre and Post Conference Safaris
The most requested add-on we offer. Extend your conference into a world-class safari experience — either before delegates arrive or after the programme wraps. With over 350 itineraries across 12 African countries, we match every group profile with the right safari experience, whether that's a self-drive through Kruger or a fly-in to the Okavango Delta.
Spouse and Family Options
We ensure that partners and family members travelling with delegates are as well looked after as the delegates themselves. From dedicated activity programmes and guided day tours to child-minding services and family-friendly accommodation options, we take care of the whole group — not just the people in the conference room.
