The brief called for soft adventure and was delivered through a fantastic combination of events which included shark cage diving (the term soft is a relative one). A close-up encounter with a great white shark leaves a lasting impression. The programme combined adventure elements with all aspects of the day programmes.

Abseiling off Table Mountain, mountain biking in the winelands, paddling with penguins on the Cape Peninsula, power boating from the Waterfront and quad biking on the West Coast were all included. Kloofing (working your way through a mountain gorge) and jumping out of planes were not included!

The Western Cape Hotel and Spa provided an ideal location for a golf incentive. Quality was an absolute non-negotiable for this event. The golf course presented a superb challenge while the hotel facilities delivered beyond expectations. The gala dinner evening in Cape Town rounded off a memorable incentive.

A high-profile reward programme required exceptional planning and attention to detail. Helicopter transfers to winelands restaurants, vintage cars and Harley Davidson transfers, superb dining venues and entertainment were all key elements in the mix. The most rewarding element was the opportunity to interact, participate and become involved with the local people in the Cape Town townships.
