The Into Africa Experience

Africa has been appointed by AAPG as the official ground operator for the conference. In operation in Southern Africa for more than 16 years, specializing in conferences and event management, Into Africa will provide attendees and guests with valuable tourism assistance.

Experiencing Cape Town

Cape Town itself, as a destination, is a city like no other. There is a huge range of experiences and excursions offered due to its location and year-round temperate weather, from city tours, discovering the peninsula, to winelands adventures. Cape Town is a contrast of vibrant activity and meditative relaxation. Many travelers find it the most beautiful city in the world. Into Africa, along with the local organizing committee, have created a program of tours covering all aspects of the Cape from wine tasting, to viewing the penguins at Boulders Beach, to taking a walk through the communities, to interacting with the locals.

Our Team

Our project managers have the experience, as well as supplier relationships, to handle all your tourism requests within Cape Town and the surrounding areas, with confidence. Should you require private group dinner reservations, additional meeting space or a private tour, we will exceed all expectations with the level of expertise and service we are able to provide.
