Finer Details
The Mensa 2014 Annual Gathering, organized by Mensa Johannesburg will be a fun-filled affair. Some of the activities will be interesting speakers, “fun in the sun”, chillaxing by the pool(bar), hikes, cable car ride with a meal on top of a mountain (No Cape Town! You’re not the only ones who have that :)), and many more.
We are aiming to strike a good balance between “organized activities” and “free time”. During “free time” members could engage in different activities, e.g. Horse Rides, Balloon Safaris, Pub crawls, or anything that tickles your fancy. You are welcome to arrange any of these activities, or relax at the venue, with its many on-site options at your leisure.
