Survivor Adventure Team Building

The challenges are roughly based on the same principles as the popular Survivor TV series and 90’s Camel Trophy Adventures. Participants have to interact to cross an imaginary river, or start a fire with very few resources, or follow an elementary compass reading. Practice your aim with a few shooting exercises using a Pellet gun, use a bow to shoot a 3D target such as an Impala or Warthog for meat, drive a quad through our precision driving course and get the adrenalin pumping by doing it blindfolded! The great equalizer challenge at the end offers losing teams the final opportunity to catch up for a possible surprise win. . . This is a great activity for really getting the competitive team dynamics going.
Duration: 3-4 hours
Cost: International: R 920 per person – Cost: South African: R 830 Min-Max: Group: 15+
