Rwanda and Tanzania - an award-winning incentive combinationDragonfly Africa was recently recognised with a SITE Crystal award for a programme they operated in Tanzania and Rwanda. This is a first for this region and one of only seven awarded internationally. Both Tanzania and Rwanda provide unique and bucket-list enhancements. Iconic is an important word for any incentive planner. An iconic destination is a great base from which to design the incentive campaign - it drives and motivates the delegates to achieve their goals and sales targets in order to be able attend the event. From L-R: Kevin M. Hinton: SITE, USA (Chief Excellence Officer, SITE); Rhonda Brewer: Maritz Travel Company, Fenton MO, United States (Current SITE President); Clinton Els: Dragonfly Africa, Director: Incentives & Travel; Carina Bauer: IMEX Group, Hove, United Kingdom (IMEX Group are a major sponsor for SITE) Thinking safari, what often comes to mind are the movies, Out of Africa or Lion King, where the grassy plains, covered with herds of animals, stretch to the horizon. This is the Serengeti, Tanzania! The ultimate safari experience. With the Four Seasons Lodge Serengeti in full operation, you can now combine this journey with a hotel brand synonomous with absolute style and service excellence. The Serengeti is not the only safari region in Tanzania, in fact we highly recommend combining this with Ngorongoro Crater, another fantastic location. The Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is ideally located - perched on the edge of the volcanic crater overlooking the plains below. Groups can conveniently air charter between the two lodges. As if these two destinations are not enough, we suggest adding a third excitement into the mix - Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda. Whenever this is mentioned, "a once-in-a-lifetime-experience" usually accompanies it. Gorilla Trekking requires a degree of fitness to complete and there are a limited number of permits issued on a daily basis. For our recent event, the client decided to offer Gorilla Trekking as an optional add-on for those who wanted to do it. There are direct flights from Kilimanjaro to Kigali, Rwanda. We recommend spending one night in Kigali and then two nights in the Volcanoes Park for the actual full day Gorilla Trekking experience. WOW and UNIQUE ENHANCEMENTSGorilla Trekking:
