With our Team Building Away Days, companies have the opportunity for their staff to down their pens and move away from their keyboards to face new challenges as a team, to create some unusual enrichment items to go into one of the animal enclosures. Introduce an element of competition, scoring systems and prizes to promote teamwork!

Our Team Building experts have 25 years combined experience in the animal enrichment field and their solutions are informed by practitioner-based research. With experience in working with a wide range of animals, both in the UK and abroad, they are committed to devoting their expertise, energy and enthusiasm towards helping animals live more enriched lives within their enclosures.

Alternatively, teams can share a journey of discovery as they head out on safari to the African Experience to meet some of our animals up close!

What’s more, by holding your event with us, you will play a vital role in supporting our conservation efforts, helping critically endangered animals and their habitats, in the UK and around the world. So if Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is important to your business and you’re looking to have a positive impact, do get in touch.
