Team Building

THE AMAZING RACE  THE ULTIMATE TEAM BUILDING BUSH BREAK
The Amazing Race is the ultimate team-building event that tests team endurance and coordination. Just as seen on TV, expect lies, deception, clues and intrigue. Navigate your team’s 4×4 Toyota Landcruiser Game Viewer around the one hundred and twenty square kilometres Greater Mabula Game Reserve and observe the bushveld as you have never before.

Engaging all your senses and pushing your team to the limit in a really fun-filled three-hour activity followed by a sensational prize-giving event and sundowners served under the ancient fig tree overlooking the Mabula savanna.

Facilitated by the Mabula team, each team will be hosted by a qualified guide. The guide will follow the team’s instructions and assist them in their quest to reach their destination. Upon reaching the map point, a riddle will be found and the team can allocate one of the team members to complete the task.

Tasks consist of everything from shooting a catapult, to eating a gory mass of sweet treats, to constructing a rhino or even identifying spoor. Elements of birding, game viewing and other conservation activities are added to the fun-filled experience. Teams will race each other across the stunning big five game reserve whilst trying to avoid various detours and roadblocks, following a series of clues to reach the final point
