28 November 2024 – In the heart of Victoria Falls, nestled within the serene Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary, the Wallow Lodge provided the perfect backdrop for a transformative day of connection, inspiration and joy. Our Reservations Team Building Event, themed “Cultivating Well-being, Joy and Resilience in Reservations,” celebrated self-care and teamwork – a day dedicated to recharging and reconnecting.
The Day’s Journey
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Lunch with a Twist
The day began with a delicious, lunch of tapas boards shared at the table – a vibrant feast that mirrored the diversity and energy of the team. Conversations flowed easily, setting the tone for an afternoon of collaboration and camaraderie.
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM: Vision Board Creation
After lunch, creativity took center stage as the team dove into vision board creation. Everyone embraced the opportunity to dream big, align personal goals with team aspirations and visually map out a shared future. It was a reflective and inspiring hour that highlighted our collective potential.
3:30 PM – 6:00 PM: Scavenger Hunt Adventure
The afternoon brought excitement with an informative scavenger hunt across the Wildlife Sanctuary. Divided into three teams, each accompanied by a guide, participants embarked on an interactive journey to uncover treasures and stories which included a visit to the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust (VFWT), where Malusi and Judge shared insights into wildlife conservation. Along the way, teams documented the wildlife they encountered and enjoyed a delightful surprise – a pop-up ice cream parlour that added a sweet treat to the adventure.
6:00 PM Onwards: Refresh, Quiz, and Dinner
After the hunt, everyone returned to camp to freshen up before regrouping for a lively quiz. The questions tested what we had learned from the guides and VFWT, blending fun with education. The evening concluded with a sumptuous dinner, offering time to reflect on the day’s events, share laughter and celebrate the team’s achievements.
The Heart of the Experience
This memorable day wasn’t just about activities; it was about nurturing well-being and fostering resilience within the team. By prioritizing mental wellness, joy and shared experiences, we strengthened our ability to face challenges with optimism and confidence. From laughter around the table to triumphs in the bush, the event created lasting memories and reinforced our collective spirit.
Beautiful People. Connecting. Special Memories Made. Here’s to a day of joy, resilience and the unwavering dedication of the Wild Horizons Reservations Team!
