Workshops
Safari of Self Discovery(2 day, 14 hours)
The Safari of Self-Discovery introduces a whole new approach to not only team building but ensuring that the team functions as a single unit to achieve a universally owned team goal. The surprisingly accurate “What Animal Am I?” quiz allows attendees to discover their primary, secondary and tertiary skill – whether a enduring wildebeest, an enterprising crocodile, a strategic lion, a risk-taking mongoose, efficient cheetah, gracious giraffe, or a communicating elephant. They then learn to develop their own strongest survival skill, identify and understand the strengths of those they work with – and how to build healthier and tougher teams. Workshops are held by accredited Serengeti Rangers with Stefan Swanepoel available on request.
