UP A TONE Events Agency delivered a flagship corporate retreat for BASF Agriculture in February 2026, bringing together approximately 100 guests at the breathtaking Thsikwalo Lodge in the Dinokeng Game Reserve — an experience designed to take strategy far beyond the boardroom.

Set against the raw beauty of the bushveld, the programme wove together business and bush in a way that only a truly immersive setting can achieve. Mornings began with game drives at dawn, guests trading their conference chairs for open vehicles as the reserve came to life around them. Strategic sessions held during the day were purposeful and focused, creating the clarity and alignment that only comes when great minds gather in the right environment.

As the sun set over the savanna, the evenings took on a life of their own. A drumming dinner under the stars brought energy, rhythm, and a sense of shared experience that no conference room could replicate. Team building activities were crafted to create real connection — not just participation — and the culmination of the programme was a formal Awards Gala Dinner celebrating excellence across the BASF Agriculture team.

The event closed with a keynote from none other than rugby legend Victor Matfield — a powerful reminder of what true leadership, trust, and teamwork look like when they matter most.

From game drive to gala, from strategy session to starlit drum circle — UP A TONE Events Agency brought every element together with precision and heart.
