One thing’s for sure, when it comes to team building activities and corporate events, those that South Africa serves up are as diverse and unique as the country itself.
We’ve picked some of our favorites, with each of these pretty much guaranteed to strengthen bonds and foster collaboration within your team.
Whether you're a local business looking to reinforce team spirit or a group hitting up for some proper off-site team bonding, this guide is your gateway to the best group activities on offer.
- Group Braai-Off - Braai-ing together naturally fosters cooperation and creativity. After all, isn’t this exactly the kind of thing that’s been bringing us together since the beginning of time? Your team will assign tasks, solve problems, and communicate, all while having fun and enjoying the tasty results of their labors. Apart from on-site spit braai & souvla braai facilities, The View Hotel also offers a wood fired pizza oven! So, creativity can spark and the menu even more so!
- Paint and Sip - We’re all about drinking responsibly, especially when buffing our creative halos, but there’s a reason this is a winning combo. After all, who wouldn’t have fun hurling paint at a canvas while, basking in the sun and erm, sipping their favorite beverage?
- Pub Trivia - This isn't your ordinary trivia night; it's a full-blown competition. Get your team in for a treat with rounds of mind boggling questions spanning diverse topics like music, movies, history, ice cream flavors, pop culture, sports, global cuisine, and even dog breeds. To conquer this challenge, you'll need sharp ears, keen eyes, and, as the rumors go, perhaps dance barefoot.
- Terrarium Workshop - Who doesn’t want their own private garden they can carry around with them? A terrarium is a little pocket of nature that can sit on your desk and thrive with relatively minimal upkeep, boosting your mood and relaxation throughout the year to come! And when you leave? You head off with a beautifully crafted terrarium that's not only a stunning piece of natural art but also a living, self-contained ecosystem.
- Out-of-Office Olympics - Trot along and enjoy a series of team-based, hands-on, and generally silly competitions that will have your group laughing tears as they compete for gold. High-energy and low-stakes is the name of the game! Family Feud-style showdowns, racing to fill the biggest bucket of Jelly Tots with hands tied behind your back, creating balloon animals, playing harmonicas, and even eating sticky apples on a string. The list goes on and the winner takes it all!
