The Cape of Good Fun
A Cosa event in South Africa
Only the best for the best. The top 140 employees of an international IT company were invited to celebrate their achievements in South Africa. Participants arrived in wonderful Cape Town from over 45 countries, to be immersed in a magnificent world organised by Cosa. In five memorable days they experienced the most stunning aspects of the city: beautiful locations, great activities and the finest food.
Highlights
How to be a Capetonian
In a special kind of tour, participants divided into groups to solve tasks in the city, to prove they could be real Capetonians.
From gumboot dancing to Xhosa singing via samosa cooking, these group tasks were the best way to get to know the real city.
In the evening, like real Capetonians, everyone enjoyed a lively African evening and danced to exuberant local rhythms.
Cape of Good Hope
A definite must-see is the most southerly point in Africa. The coastal road winds its way to the rugged cliffs and the vast sea.
Some lucky ones drove the route in classic convertibles. Once there, everyone could enjoy the sea air by hiking or biking.
A walk to the Cape of Good Hope itself rounded off this visit, followed by a picnic in a high-end tent set up especially for us.
Inspirational setting
More than a meeting: that was our motto when choosing Embassy Hill for the event’s kick-off. And yes, it’s a former embassy.
An elegant building in a lovely park-like setting makes for a unique atmosphere. Creative ideas sparkle in this oasis.
This meeting location is truly perfect, not least as it’s rounded off with a relaxing pool area, ideal for a light al fresco lunch.
Celebrating in sytle
We ended the trip on a high note, with a gala dinner in the highest building in Cape Town, a spot that’s very difficult to rent.
And no wonder, with its 360° panorama over the whole city, Lion Head, Table Mountain, the harbour and the endless sea.
Fine food and a big band in full swing gave us an evening to remember, with participants celebrating and being honoured in style.
Giving back
One great element of this trip was being able to help a local community. Langa Township is home to the Thembani Primary School, which educates around 980 local students, providing a safe environment for them to develop through school and extra-curricular activities. As this public school lacks financial resources, we donated our time in the form of work hours to build missing infrastructure for the children. It was hard work but worth every minute.
