A South African Exploration

South Africa offers a wide variety of wonderful experiences! An exhilarating and spectacular country, blessed with a kind climate and boasting a first­world infrastructure, South Africa offers a melting pot of cultures and traditions. You can enjoy the winelands of the Cape or the colorful carpet of flowers of the West Coast in spring or you can choose to see the big five in one of the world’s most recognized national parks. Or simply take a journey to a deeper understanding of the country and humankind through some of the country’s heritage sites. There are vibrant cities and thrilling townships to give you a memorable South African urban experience or the African bush and white sandy beaches to offer a more tranquil vacation. A wonderful South African exploration awaits you!

Cape Town

The Mother City

Cape Town, “The Mother City”, is one of the most spectacular cities of the world. With Table Mountain, beautiful beaches, Cape Point and the V&A Waterfront, this city has much to offer visitors. A blend of architectural styles reflects the history of the city and more modern day requirements. Between the high­rise blocks, Edwardian and Victorian buildings have been meticulously restored, and many fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture are found. The narrow cobblestone streets and the Bo­Kaap enhance the cosmopolitan ambiance. Wine lovers will enjoy the experience of exploring the tranquil and scenic wine estates in the Cape Winelands, less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town. MORE FACTS

The Into Africa Experience

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

Welcome to “The Mother City”
Meet, Greet and Airport Transportation: When arriving at Cape Town International Airport, attendees will be met by an Into Africa representative and escorted to the luxury, air­conditioned coaches standing by, ready to take you to your destination hotel. Please note that we will offer this transfer service to those attendees who have registered their flight details and purchased their transfer tickets. Dates of operation and transfer costs will follow in further publications. We will also offer return transfers to Cape Town International Airport. Pre­booking by eligible attendees is essential.
Experiencing Cape Town:
Cape Town itself, as a destination, is a city like no other. There is a huge range of experiences and excursions on offer due to its location and year­round 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 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.
