TIPS
CLIMATE
South Africa has a temperate climate, partly because it is surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans on three sides, partly because of its climate-lighter location in the Southern Hemisphere, and partly because of its average altitude.
Cape Town is particularly known for its wind, which blows intermittently for almost the entire year.
Winter, which begins in May and ends in September, is cold and humid; the average temperature ranges from minimum of 7°C and max of 20°C.
Sunrise: 7:40h approx.
Sunset: 17:45h approx.
LOCAL CURRENCY
The official currency is the Rand. International Mastercard, Visa and American Express credit cards are generally accepted in all restaurants, shops and hotels, and your passport or other photo ID may be requested at the time of purchase for proof of identity.
TIMEZONE
In May, Cape Town and the Pilanesberg National Park region will be 2 hours ahead from GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
ELECTRONICS / SOCKET
It is important not to forget to bring your chargers of mobile phone, notebook and other electronic devices.
The voltage is 220v. The sockets standard follows the European legislation with round pin system. We recommend taking a universal adapter and making sure your equipment - computer, mobile phone, camera, shaver, dryer, chargers, etc. – works at this voltage.
HEALTH CARE
If you take any regular medication, we recommend that you take it in sufficient quantity for the period of the trip, as well as the respective prescription in case you need to buy it. If wearing contact lenses, take spare pairs and the prescription.
If you have an illness that requires special care, we recommend that you carry a card specifying the action to be taken by third parties. Any health occurrence let us know, so we can seek proper support.
IMPORTANT: The change in weather, time zone and food can harm your body. We recommend that you have medicines for sickness, cramping and general pain on hand (put them in carry-on luggage). ABBVIE and INCENTIVARE are not authorized to supply medicines therefore, if necessary, will use the health insurance for medical assistance.
DRESS CODE
waterproof jacket to protect yourself from the cold, long pants, boots or sneakers.
For the other tours, we recommend wearing light and comfortable clothes such as pants, shirts, dresses, shorts. Remember to bring sunglasses, sunscreen and repellent.
For day trips we suggest light clothing, sneakers or comfortable shoes for hiking.
For dinners, the dress code is “social/casual” but we recommend long pants or dresses.
For the Gala Party, the dress code is social, as suit with tie for men and long dress for women.
SOCIAL MEDIA

In doing so, please remember that the All Stars event is a business event and as such we must be cautious and be mindful of Abbvie's reputation.
