Corporate Team Building is all about paddling together in the right direction
Get your team pulling together
Remote working. Disconnected teams. Artificial Intelligence. Somewhere along the way, the workplace has stopped working. It’s become less human. Less real. Less personal. But we have the solution to help your employees or leadership team come together, work as one and rediscover who they are as people. Explore our corporate team building and reward trips.
Rafting Morocco: A multi-day rafting adventure for teamwork and fresh ideas
An adventure to give your team a fresh perspective. Enjoy one night in bustling Marrakech before heading off for four days of rafting grade three rapids on the Ahansel River in the Atlas Mountains, camping under canvas or under the stars, sitting around a campfire talking, problem solving or just connecting over a cold drink. We end with a night at a luxury hotel overlooking lake Bin El Ouidane, with optional nights in Marrakech afterwards.

Why it’s the perfect corporate team building experience
- In a raft, you have to work as a team, pulling together (literally with paddles) to get through the rapids.
- Guests may be slightly out of their comfort zone, but it builds an ability to tackle challenges and a sense of achievement.
- In a river canyon there is no signal so it is enforced thinking, talking and connecting time. That problem you’ve been battling with? Sit around the campfire at night and brainstorm solutions. The quiet will give you clarity.
- Discover who you are as people, what makes each other tick. Bring those learnings back to the office to work more effectively going forward.
- Let go of workplace stress and have some real fun. Guaranteed smiles on faces!

Raft the Zambezi: Achieve big hairy audacious goals and smash the fear factor
An adventure unlike anything your team has ever experienced. The Zambezi is one of the world’s most famous rafting rivers. With grade four / five rapids, it will definitely push your team out of their comfort zone, get their adrenalin pumping and have them working together. But don’t worry, we have safely been taking people on this river for 25 years, including first timers, visually impaired people and even amputees.
Our start point on day one, right below Victoria Falls.
It starts with a night in Livingstone, Zambia and a sunset cruise on the upper Zambezi. Then we head onto the famous Zam, kicking off our rafting adventure underneath the spectacular Victoria Falls. What follows is four days of epic rafting, with three nights camping under an incredible African night sky, before we fly out of the gorge by helicopter. Your team gets to relive the whitewater stories while taking in a safari in Botswana’s Chobe Nature Reserve, before heading back to Livingstone and home.
Why it’s the perfect corporate team building experience
- Got a big challenge or audacious goal that your team needs to achieve by working together? Coming together on this river, supporting each other when things get scary, and celebrating the rush when you make it through will make any corporate challenge far easier to handle.
- The lack of signal in the river gorge means you are given space to disconnect from the day to day noise. And it’s in the quiet moments on the side of a river bank that the best ideas come.
- You will get to know your team mates and their individual strengths and weaknesses. The river uncovers hidden talents and abilities you may not be aware someone has.
- Seeing Africa’s wild spaces, wild life and experiencing a safari is an incredible opportunity, that will cement team loyalty and it’s a great way to thank the team for their hard work.
When we do it

Minimum of 6, up to 16 but we can take up to 24

Sailing the Med or the BVIs: Say thank you to your top performers
To thank the people in your organisation who go above and beyond, we offer a week-long sailing trip in either Croatia, Greece, Sardinia or the British Virgin Islands. A group of up to 8 (shared rooms) will island hop, learn to sail, relax on deck, swim off the back of the boat, explore quaint towns and enjoy fantastic meals onboard and on shore. It’s adventure light, with a bit of luxury thrown in, but mostly, an experience they will never forget.
Why it’s the perfect corporate get-away
- It’s relaxed and social. A great way for colleagues to enjoy some genuine downtime together.
- It’s a chance to learn new sailing skills, should they want to.
- It feels like a genuine treat and completely different to the normal corporate shindig, something they’ll be talking about for ages.
- Should you want to use it for team building or business brainstorming, there is plenty of time to sit around the table on deck to discuss business challenges, while your skipper moves you to your next idyllic mooring
- A great incentive to inspire others and to attract new employees. It makes a statement: your company is a fun place to work and stands out from the crowd
The evening anchorages are a real treat for the soul
