- Guided experience with accredited tour guide and township guide
- Transport to and from accommodation
- Lunch in an African home
- Bicycle and equipment
- Giant Cargo Net - 17 meters long and 4 meters high.
- Suspension bridge – This 12m long bridge hangs freely in the air. Every step you take causes it to bounce wildly, and twist out of control.
- Climbing wall – climbing holds have been setup on a giant Gum tree. The higher you go the more difficult it gets.
- Zip Slide (foofie slide) – this 130m long slide starts off on a platform in the trees, 12 meters above the ground. It travels out of the forest and over a dam to guarantee an adrenalin pumping experience. The zip slide adheres to all necessary safety standards. Clients are secured in a special harness and suspended from a free running pulley which runs along a steel cable. You will experience extreme acceleration as you descend down the wire.
- Paintball Target shooting with catapults – using ballistic catapults and biodegradable paintballs
- Tight-rope walking - A steel cable to walk on, and two ropes to hold onto – suspended above the ground, and spanning 12m.
- Uneven posts – different diameter posts, standing up out of the ground at various heights of 10 - 60cm.
- Bosuns Chairs - A number of wooden seats, suspended in the air, and hanging on ropes.
- Angled balance beams - 3 balance beams in a ‘Z’ shape, about 50cm off the ground.
- African Formula 1 – a tyre race along a winding forest course. A good team strategy and quick pit stops are essential to ensure victory.
- Live Wire – your team needs to move along 5 cables running between the trees using overhead ropes, each other and their lateral thinking skills to get to the finishing deck. Team work is essential.
- A sandboard – can be purchased from major surf shops or directly from the manufacturers. Second hand sports shops sometimes have good beginners boards.
- Wax – Cobra Floor Polish works pretty well.
- Sponge to apply the wax to the bottom of the board
- Suncream, Hat, water and juice.

Jonathan Shapiro | Re: WILDER PARTY SUN
Dear Alan, Scott and Ryan
A huge thank you for organizing such a terrific party for us! The kids and parents are still talking about it and we were just blown away! It will be very difficult to top this next year. Quite a few parents are thinking of it as an option for their children. I hope this generates some more bookings for you. I had spotted your competition in the Cape Town’s Child and then I looked at your site online but a lot of the parents did not know where I came up with the idea. Everybody seems to be reading Cape Town’s Child now yet they missed your info in it. Perhaps you should look at running a more eye-catching or prominent ad (unless of course you have more bookings than you can cope with!).
Thanks again!
Best regards
Carolyn Wilder

Margy Beves-Gibson | Re: Sandboarding Party
Morning Alan
Thanks so much. Our group had a marvellous time. It seems as though no-one has any idea of what to expect but once they’re there, everyone just gets more brave as the time wears on.
Yes, it was a little windy but hey, it’s sand and it washes off. Can’t really fault anything but my sons did say they missed you this time around.
We had a great time. Please thank your team from us once again.
Cheers
Margy
Bettina Taylor | Re: Sandboarding Party

summer when the tourists are back?
Bye

Dear Alan
I always wanted to use the word awesome somewhere, but never knew when and where. Well, now I know, because we had a absolutely AWESOME time yesterday. I cannot remember when last I had so much fun. A big thank you also to Rian. He was really great with the kids. I think Rikus must have told me about 6 times last night he wants to go back and it was the best party he ever had. My daughter has also decided for her party in April, she wants to do the same. Once again, thank you so much. It was great!
Kind regards Ulla

How to Sandboard
 
Getting started
You don’t need much equipment to start sandboarding. The basics are:
The first lesson with sandboarding is to keep you weight forward. Your natural reaction will be to lean backwards. If all your weight is on your back foot, you will not be able to turn or control the board.
