ZIPLINE (FOOFI- SLIDE): This is really fun!! Slide with a zip line from a platform in the treetops, and make a soft landing in the river. An instructor will support you through this event. You will receive a life-jacket before sliding down, and a raft will pick you up if you don’t want to swim back. BURMA BRIDGE: The object is to walk over a 50m cable swing bridge over the water. A bit intimidating, but good for team- building, and to overcome one’s fears. Armed with a gun and paint-balls, the teams attack each other. Planning, strategy, leadership and a sense of adventure are needed to fight until the end. For the not so adventures people, we do paint-ball target shooting, where they shoot at a target.
