Anti-poaching comes to life at Askari Game Lodge | The Planner

In celebration of the world wide anti-Rhino poaching drive in September, Askari Game Lodge & Spa in Magaliesburg is introducing Anti-poaching teambuilding activities at its Big 5 lodge.

Elephants in Main Streets Anti-Poaching Unit teambuilding intervention is the ultimate experience for those who love being out in the bush and who cant resist a good mystery, says group marketing manager, Christa Badenhorst. Adding to the excitement, this teambuiling activity takes the group out on a game drive vehicle into the bush, where they interact with the wildlife around them.

This teambuilding activity brings the reality of poaching to the fore, while subtly testing the groups ability to share information and to focus on detail while keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Alf Tlomatsana, Senior Facilitator at Elephants on main, shares the process: The delegates disembark from their game drive vehicles and proceed on foot through the bush, following small clues and blood trails to the Poaching Scene. They have limited time to solve the crime.

Firstly they will observe the scene where the rhino fell and make appropriate notes, Tlomatsana continues. They need to follow forensic procedure to collect evidence. Perhaps they will discover more tracks leading to poacher camps, where more evidence could be found. During all the procedures, the main laboratory would have certain findings from real rhino DNA, ballistics and other tell-tale clues.

Other safari style teambuilding activities which can be enjoyed at Askari Game Lodge include Senses of Safari and Mission Elephant. These teambuilding activities can be combined with Askari Lodges Sunday night, 2 day conference special or with the exciting Year End party options.

Askari Game Lodge provides Big 5 accomodation as part of the Guvon Hotels & Spas portfolio, which further includes All Suite on 14th, the Fairway Hotel & Golf Resort, Glenburn Lodge, Umbhab Lodge, Kloofzicht Lodge & Spa and Bush Willow Tented Camp.
