NORTHERN CAPE

Northern Cape – an extraordinary meeting and incentive destination

Welcome to the Northern Cape, one of Southern Africa’s fastest growing business events destinations. This province, the largest within South Africa, is a modern growing region with a choice of meeting venues with sophisticated technology and accommodation to meet every price point. It further features a landscape brimming with dramatic beauty, a rich culture and history with ancient wisdoms, warm hospitality, and some of the world’s greatest ‘bucket list’ experiences on offer.

The Northern Cape, South Africa, has the proven capacity and world-class infrastructure to successfully host major international business events and meetings. Our strength relies on the diversity of our destination, not only in terms of our welcoming people and rich culture, but in our ability to deliver the dynamic, flexible and value-for-money attributes of a major global business events destination. We deliver world-class infrastructure, without compromising on the authentic, distinctly ‘African’ business and leisure environment.

The Northern Cape Tourism Authority acts as a ‘one stop solution’ for independent information and assistance, giving neutral advice on all aspects of hosting and organising any business event in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Meeting, event and incentive planners will have ease of access to all the information they require on the destination, simplifying their processes and making turnaround time significantly quicker.

Conferences and Meetings

Superior venues are located throughout the province, with excellent accessibility by road from major national highways as well as easy transfers from the centrally located airports at Kimberley and Upington.

Anchoring Kimberley’s meeting industry is the impressive Mittah Seperepere International Convention Centre. The MSICC is a flexible venue that accommodates a wide variety of functions, with the capacity to host virtually any convention, exhibition, product launch, or gala dinners. It can accommodate up to 1,000 delegates. Many of the Northern Cape’s hotels offer meeting venues as well. These are versatile and fully equipped, accommodating up to 600 guests in Kimberley, 250 in Upington and 200 in Springbok. The multipurpose venues provide the ideal location for corporate conferences, meetings, product launches throught to gala dinners and more.

The varied tourism offerings and leisure experiences make the Northern Cape especially attractive for pre and post tours and the incentive travel market with teambuilding activities such as fly fishing, river rafting, sandboarding and 4x4 challenges available in abundance. The astonishing array of outdoor adventures and nature experiences further add to the unique tourism diversity of the province.

The three main conferencing towns offers a large choice of accommodation for varying budgets ranging from luxury fivestar breakaways to four-star hotels, guest lodges and guest houses.

Incentives — unique, memorable and inspirational

Travel incentives are highly desired rewards. In comparison to cash, travel rewards are experiences those incentive delegates will remember for a lifetime. There really is no better way to reward your incentive groups than an unforgettable, lifeenriching trip to the Northern Cape.

Splendid natural beauty, diverse and iconic cultures, warm hospitably, award-winning food and wine, luxury accommodation, natural wonders, spirit of Ubuntu, fascinating wildlife and a select range of products and services within the province, combined with an efficient infrastructure makes the Northern Cape an excellent choice for your incentive and meetings programs.
