Imagine a time and a place where all of your employees are engaged, productive and supportive. They are taking initiative, making decisions on their own, and they do actually learn from their mistakes. They are looking out for each other while striving to maximise the results of their singular and combined efforts.

Imagine no longer! Turn this ideal into a vibrant reality with our corporate teambuilding events, expertly designed to get people working together, having fun and achieving success.
 
Teambuilding activities are available at these three venues:
»  Zulu Nyala Game Lodge
»  Heritage Safari Lodge
»  Zulu Nyala Country Manor
 
 
 
Our teambuilding activities are suitable for groups of between five to one hundred participants and range in duration from one hour to four days. We set fun, engaging and highly participative group challenges with achievable goals. The challenges encourage groups to think outside the box, whilst pooling skills, resources and experience - TEAMWORK is the way forward!

You may select from an exciting assortment of challenges that require a variety of personal and team skills. You may also choose different zones for your event, such as adrenaline, fun, mystery, adventure, creative etc. to meet your teambuilding objectives.
 
Typically the events would entail a mini triathlon, fishing competition, cooking competition, beer making and a bead or spear making competition.
 
 
 
Your team will endure rigorous tasks and compete in the most exhilarating team challenge ever. Everyone will have a chance to excel at the ever imaginative and challenging business-related missions. The tasks will test their intelligence, business skills and personal interaction skills. Teams will complete sometimes humorous, but difficult assignments, and will be forced to think outside the office in order to win the game, where teamwork is crucial for success.
 
Example: Teams are placed in a town and are given the task of raising money for a local rural school. The team that collects the most money, travels to the school and hands the money over to the headmaster in the allocated time, wins the challenge.
 
 
 
Embark on a journey in search of a hidden treasure. Teams work together to unlock clues, search for keys, decipher cryptic messages and overcome a variety of fun challenges. A superb 'get to know each other' activity as participants are driven to become motivated and focused. Ultimately the treasure needs to be found through team tactics of co-operation, strategy, wits and style.
 
Typically, 21 keys with clues are hidden in different locations and the first team to get the co-ordinates to the treasure, and dig it up, wins.
 
 
 
Various golf packages may be tailor-made to suit each group's needs, whether it's 'shaya dammit' or normal golf, it will be a game to remember!
 
 
 
Experience a new golfing sport in South Africa, played anywhere BUT on the golf course! Hit towards the base of the flag, instead of putting into a hole - great for the short game and ANYONE can play.
 
 
 
Survivor! Zulu Style. Outgun, outfit and outsmart each other throughout a series of challenges, set in an authentic Zulu location. You select your challenges and we'll create your event!

Zulu Soccer Goals
Teams will be challenged to score against a local goalie - the team with the most goals wins.

Zulu Footie
Play a 7-a-side soccer match against the local team of Zulus.

Zulu Bicycle Race
Relay race using a Zulu bicycle on a Zulu mountain bike course - the fastest team wins.

Zulu Fishing
Fish using traditional Zulu methods -the team to catch the first fish, wins.

Zulu Stick Fighting
One-on-one stick fighting. Using different colour paints on the sticks, hit your opponent on any part of the body and mark them, to win the fight.

Outspoken
Two tribes sit atop a set of wooden benches. At each level they are asked a question based on Africa. If the tribe answers correctly, they move down a row of the bleachers. The first tribe to stand on the ground after having answered each question correctly wins.

Outgun
Using a slingshot, spear and knobkerrie, one at a time the survivors will attempt to shoot at various targets, placed from thirty feet to seventy feet away. The tribe with the most target hits, wins.

Outlive
Various African delicacies are placed on a spinning wheel, (samp, boom boom beans, cabbage, pumpkins and chicken feet). Each survivor must square off against someone from the opposing tribe, spin the wheel and eat the item to which it points. If a survivor refuses to eat, or if he or she gets sick, that tribe falls behind one point. The tribe that successfully eats the most tucker wins.

Out and Out
In this challenge, a tribe is only as fast as its slowest member. The tribes race against each other through a series of obstacles, whilst attached together by a rope. The first tribe to successfully complete the course, with all of its members across the finish line, wins.

Outfit
Each tribe selects members to become 'rescuers'. Two members are placed at predetermined accident locations. Using a triangular-shaped stretcher called a 'travois', each tribe must locate their tribe mates at the accident location and bring them back to the 'first aid tent'. First tribe to rescue its member and cross the finish line wins.

Outsmart
The tribes will select one member of each team to act as their 'eyes' while the other members are blindfolded. Sitting atop two towers, the 'eyes' must guide their blindfolded tribe members through a series of obstacles. The first tribe to successfully complete the course wins.

Outright
This challenge requires memory rather than physical strength. 20 covers are placed over 10 matching pairs of items from the bush. Each survivor must uncover two baskets, revealing their hidden items. The object is to match the items and win a point. The tribe who matches the most items, wins.

Outlast
Each tribe will select one member of their team to act on their behalf; each team has to choose a certain number of flags to be removed from an arrangement. The team left with the last flag, loses.

Outwit
Each tribe will be given a silhouetted picture and 7 pieces of a Tangrams puzzle - the first tribe to complete the puzzle, wins.

Outsignal Air
Each tribe, pretending that they are lost in the woods and using only the materials on them, or found in nature, will make a distress signal that could be viewed by a search plane flying overhead. Very important - the distress signal has to have more than 5 letters!

Unchained
Hooked together, the tribes race along an obstacle course, solving puzzles and earning keys to unlock themselves, from a group of 8, to groups of 4, to groups of 2. The last stage frees all players for a dash to the finish line.

Dragged Through the Mud
Tug-of-war to retrieve tribal flags at either end of a field. Three one-on-one tiebreakers will determine the winner.

Dive Masters
Relay race along an underwater rope line, to retrieve markers spaced out incrementally.

Over and Under
Relay race going over and under obstacles to the finish line.

Perch
An endurance, perch-standing competition.

Virtues of Fire

When It Rains, It Pours
Endurance challenge with the players' arms tied to an overhead water bucket.

Fire and Rain
Gather firewood to start a fire, and then run to fill a drum with water, using a bucket that has a hole. When filled, race with the team to extinguish the fire. The first team to kill the fire wins.

R.A.M.

Art Jamming is suitable for groups looking for a fun, entertaining, non-physical event. The group is split into smaller project teams and made responsible for a section of a large art "Masterpiece." No one in the group is aware of what this "Masterpiece" looks like, however teams will need to collaborate and work together to make sure that they are all on the right track.
 
 
 
The Quad Motorcycles provide a new and exciting medium for teambuilding. Participants do not need to be physically fit and no experience is necessary. Full instruction is given and we supply protective kit including helmets, chest protectors and goggles. The group is split into different teams and each team is allocated a quad motorcycle. We then run a Team Time Trial in which the teams have to complete a certain number of laps as close as possible to an ideal time, (not too fast or too slow).
 
 
 
Teams of participants compete against the clock, as they have to make their way through the giant inflatable obstacle course. The obstacle course has something for everyone and physical strength and fitness is not a pre-requisite to be able to participate. We have various programmes that can be "toned" up or down depending on the individual or group.
 
 
 
Giant Foosball comprises of an inflatable perimeter wall and goal posts. Players are able to only move from side to side and they are attached to each other. Teamwork is essential to get to the ball and to pass the ball between team members while trying to score a goal. Giant Foosball is suitable for both big and small groups. Players have to be physically able, however fitness is not a pre-requisite.
 
 
 
This is a fun interactive programme where teams participate in various challenges which include creating a team flag and war cry, a Bug Eating Relay, Leading the Blind, Katty Shootout, Jolly Jumper and Tumbling Towers. This is a two to three hour programme. If you choose a three to four hour programme we add another four challenges which include the Key Grab, Ball Float, Stretcher Race and Ball Maze. A full day programme consists of an additional four challenges; Fire Race, Tyre Juggle, Memory and Sliding Puzzle.
 
 
 
Choose from a wide selection of activities and design your own customised event. Each team will create a flag and an anthem. The teams will then rotate between the challenges every fifteen minutes. Points are awarded to the teams according to the positions in which they finish.
 
 
 
We all know the basics, bow, arrow and a target that looks like a collection of multicoloured circles. From there it starts to get a bit more challenging, it is not an Olympic sport for nothing.
 
 
 
This uses authentic over and under 12 bore shotguns, that fire a laser beam at clays in a perfectly safe environment.. Conventional clay pigeon shooting has 1 clay, 1 shot and one person while Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting has 1 clay, 10 shots and 5 people shooting, with a computer that determines within one thousandth of a second the order of hitting the clay.
 
 
 
This is a fun, highly interactive programme where every single person is able to get involved. Each team works together to write a script, produce, direct and act in a "Movie" or "Advert" using the resources provided. Teams are given a "Movie Making Kit" which contains an assortment of materials, props and goodies. Everyone has to tap into both their creative and practical abilities as they start to produce their movie. This can be followed by a "Night at the Oscars!"
 
 
 
This is a unique programme in which teams of participants compete against each other in a series of specially designed “indoor activities”. The challenges are different, fun and mentally stimulating and can include Pocket Rocket Football, Towering Food, Floating on Air, Sliding Puzzle, Abstract Art and Interactive Telly!
 
 
 
This is an interactive, audiovisual event that will ensure a "mini cranium work out", while encouraging great social interaction between delegates. Basic arithmetic and "word games" (which can include words in Afrikaans, English, Zulu and Xhosa) are the order of the day as "ever changing" teams try and find the best solution within the given time frame.
 
 
 
This is a fun, technical, non-physical event suitable for managerial groups. Small project teams are given what appears to be a box full of scrap metal and junk. Following a set of detailed instructions the team build and then race model steam cars.
 
 
 
"Frogs" come up for auction and are sold to the highest bidder. The betting booths are opened, jockeys selected and then the racing begins. The fastest frogs from each race qualify to "hop" in the Grand Final. Winner takes all!
 
 
 
Each delegate is supplied with a drum and then introduced to drumming by a professional team of drummers. Individuals work together creating a network of rhythm offering a unique and unforgettable experience.
 
 
 
The exhilaration of drifting over the impressive Magaliesberg Mountains, Entabeni Game Lodge or Mabula in a hot air balloon is an unforgettable experience. Select Ballooning Lodge packages are also available.
 
 
 
Combining a typical Balloon Safari with the Ballooning Challenge is a great adventure and provides a new and exciting medium for teambuilding.
 
 
 
Exciting but not dangerous rafting on the Vaal River, only 1-½ hours drive from Johannesburg.
 
 
 
Get into the spirit of team building, a custom made setup with 10 or more disciplines formulated on an obstacle course layout. Make your team work against the clock to be the best of the day. Events like The Dunker, Tunnel, Spiders web, slip and slide, and we all know the Travelator.
 
 
 
Now for something that makes grown men become little boys again and allows the fairer sex to participate in combat challenges without any bruising, danger or mess - yet the excitement and tension is greater than any previous game as we introduce grenades, sentries and time bombs to test your planning, communication and auditory skills.
 
 
 
The Geo-Bigfoot was created in 2001 to help riders tread more lightly on the environment but with more power and speed. Geo Bigfoot boasts 10-inch "TT" Power Play pneumatic tires, high ground clearance, disk brakes, magnesium wheels and an adjustable clutch that ensures that this scooter will blow away the competition. Instead of having to hold back or ride quads blindfolded, we want you to race and enjoy the experience of off-road scooter racing. They are easy to ride, adrenaline-pumping action on two wheels, suitable for 8 year olds through to 88 year olds.
 
 
 
This is fast becoming one of our more popular activities and is fun for people of all ages who want to see if they are the crack shot they thought they were. We have modified paint ball guns to shoot plastic balls into a target at the end of a canvas tunnel. This activity brings out true competitiveness and heightens the experience of your day or event.
 
 
 
All the fun and challenge of rock climbing, rappelling, and team work can be brought to your location and set up for climbing in as little as fifteen minutes. The climbing walls are suitable for all ages and abilities. We have had children as young as 3 years old and adults as old as 75 make it to the top!
 
An automatic belay station that positions itself to any route allows a climber to safely climb on their own as much as they desire. Up to four climbers can climb at a time. At the top of each route is an electronic plunger button that will momentarily activate an electronic buzzer, rewarding the climbers efforts on reaching the top. Our climbing wall is mobile and can be set up within minutes.
 
 
 
Mechanical bulls are hydraulic mechanical bull ride simulators that are perfect for the youngest rider to an experienced cowboy. We can slow the machine down so that youngsters can get on for a ride and with a turn of the control knob, bring the speed up to challenge even the most seasoned rider.
 
Once you see our mechanical bulls in action you can tell that they are basically mechanical puppets that crowds young and old adore. With expert control over the bull, our operators ensure the highest level of safety. There is an air bag that comes right up to a padded platform to ensure a soft landing when you are bucked.
 
 
 
Gone are the days of people that are inexperienced and equipment that you can't trust. The ultimate experience in putting your own body on the line, literally, and hoping the rope doesn't break and hoping that the guy at the top and bottom know what they are doing. "Will I get an adrenalin rush?" you may ask. If it's your first time and you have a fear of heights, then you will reach an absolute high in adrenalin. This is not to say that people with no fear of heights wont have the same experience. The non-fearers normally handle the situation a bit better than the fearers - the non-fearers are normally just good actors.
 
 
 
Rafting takes place on the Vaal River just outside Parys throughout the year. It's unbelievably cold in the winter, so we recommend the warmer summer months that lie ahead. The river level is also better during this time since all the rivers in South Africa are dependant on rain and you can expect excellent rapids from September until April.
 
 
 
So you think you've got what it takes to complete the physical side of things, but do you have it where it counts for mind games? Work as a team and combine your mind powers. Various tests of horizontal / vertical thinking to complete sets of puzzles to increase your teams score.
 
 
 
Camel racing is a very unique, full day event.
 
 
 
Always wanted to try climbing? We have a fully portable 12.5m high climbing wall, complete with all the safety equipment required. Facilitated by expert climbers who will suit you up for a vertigo overpowering experience.
 
 
 
Fire dancing makes a huge impact wherever we go. Fire performers entertain people of all ages, it creates a sense of danger and excitement and the thrill of the heat is enticing!
 
 
 
Most adults say they don’t still play with LEGO ® so the experience is novel and exciting! LEGO® is easy to build and the skills of experienced LEGO ® builders are quickly emulated by first timers. Success is achieved and feelings of pride arise. LEGO® is simple. Everyone can play. Everyone is equal and it doesn’t scare anyone or challenge anyone physically.
 
LEGO® is quick to build. You don’t have to be away from the beloved workplace for long. If you wish, you can include the fun in the agenda of a longer meeting. LEGO® encourages you to use your imagination. Adults become childlike and, once again, think out of the box and creatively.
