The Safari Workshop
Half day / Full Day / Two Day Events

This event can be run over a half day or a full day.  It can also be combined with the Movie Challenge to create a more varied event.  The whole group will begin together. They are told to prepare for a Safari.  The group are divided into workable teams. A photograph is taken of each team.

The aim is to complete all of the Safari activities, gaining the highest set of team marks.  The teams will move from one simulation event/activity to another.

Examples of the types of activity that can be selected are:- 

Task One - The Leopard Cage Trap
To design and construct a cage from the materials provided to trap a leopard.  The teams must demonstrate how the trap works.

Task Two - Blind Tent Erecting
Each team must nominate two of its members to be the group’s eyes.  All other team members will wear blind folds.  Only those blind folded can actually touch and erect the pole tent.

Task Three - Yellow Fever
The team are allocated a number but then become stricken with Yellow Fever, leaving them blind.  The teams are blindfolded to replicate this.  The witch doctor is called and the declares that the only way to cure this is to line up in sequence without speaking.

Task Four - The Elephant’s Graveyard
A less physical activity requiring problem solving skills of a more cerebral nature.  The ability to solve the clues and puzzles will lead to a bottle of champagne.

Task Five - Bush Telegraph
 The group is split into 3 sections - Lookers, Runners & Builders.  The Builders are given a set of objects.  These objects are duplicated and placed in a certain way behind a screen.  The Lookers must run to the screen and remember how the objects are laid out.  They then go to the Runners and describe this.  The Runners go to the Builders who ask them questions which the Runners can only answer Yes or No in an attempt to replicate the way the objects are laid out behind the screen.

Task Six  - Safari Relay
The placings are announced before the final event.  All teams take part in the Safari relay.  The Safari relay has a number of different legs to it, including “Sleeping Bags & Crackers”, the “Three legged strike” and the “Grip Those Thighs”

Prizes are then awarded to the winning team.  Prizes can consist of engraved shields for each member of the winning team and engraved medals for the runners up. 

Prices start from £995 for the Half Day Workshop and £1,575 for the Full Day Workshop depending on delegate numbers, venue and agreed programme.
