Corporate Events Johannesburg Weekend Getaway

If you think the City of Gold is all business and no play, take us up on our corporate events Johannesburg weekend getaway and you’ll experience the rush of this city in a completely fresh way.

The itinerary for this incentives package is flexible and can be adapted to suit all your requirements and requests, but we have generally found this schedule gives our clients the most pleasure:

Johannesburg is the thriving powerhouse of South Africa, artistically as well as financially. Whilst Cape Town offers majestic scenery, hip-as-hell Jo’burg serves up her jewels after dark. The track where you will race is the former F1 track. It is long and challenging course to learn and an achievement to master.

Wednesday Evening:

Thursday AM:

Fantastic Racing staff to meet you and your guests, transport to the hotel. Check-in, shower, re-fuel over a delicious brunch and then it’s off to the track.
