OR
Bush Babies teambuilding program from R275.00 per person

A teambuilding outing can take the form of either a full or half day experience with activities tailor made. The number of guides dedicated to a corporate group is based on the number of delegates and their services as facilitators are included. Additional facilitators are available at from R500.00 each. 

Elephant Program Activities are structured in accordance with client`s needs. Delegates would have seen first hand examples of social behavior in Elephant herds and this is now used to illustrate the importance of cooperation and communication in the corporate team environment.

Delegates are led to a forest area where they are to cross a bluegum pole obstacle course, a meter off the ground. A ground crew representing the office staff making things happen in the background is selected/volunteered to support the group crossing the obstacle course. Limited resources and time constraints make it so much more challenging.10-15 delegates suggested per group.

Frog Island is done 10cm off the ground where planks are used as bridges to connect the "islands". This activity forces delegates to work very closely together to reach their destination in the shortest time possible.


The Bush Babies Program - Activities are structured in accordance with client`s needs and follow a Bush Babies Program. All tours are structured and guided. Walk through natural indigenous forests on elevated wooden walkways and experience a variety of exotic monkeys in an exquisite natural environment. The experience is described as a non-interactive game-viewing opportunity to see once-captive primates in a wild environment. Tours are highly informative and the walk is leisurely, winding its way through a tranquil forest setting.

Delegates will participate in a monkey count  and monkey quiz during the Bush Babies Program.

Day Conferencing Information:

Day programs are offered daily, 7 days a week, at 08h00; 10h00 and 14h00

Guests are guided in small groups on foot through The Elephant Sanctuary. Guides will provide in-depth information and insight into African elephants.
