A corporate day or corporate offsite at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve is a chance for work colleagues and teams, or clients and suppliers to step out of their every day for a truly unique meeting experience. A visit to our 170 acres of breathtaking woodland, grassland and lakes, delegates will have the chance to see endangered deer, antelope and birds. Taking a break from the meeting agenda, you will be led around the stunning reserve by an expert guide on a 1.5 hour guided self-drive electric buggy tour, including wheelchair accessible safari trailers.

For creative and engaging team building activities, we provide various eco-friendly options bespoke to your needs, including wreath making, bushcraft and foraging to name a few. Depending on your preference, we can put together a day that everyone will remember.

We have two corporate packages to choose from, or alternatively, you can create a bespoke package by getting in contact.

At Watatunga, delegates are able to enjoy unusual, creative team building activities which include but are not limited to, wreath making, bushcraft and foraging. Team building activities and time out of the office together spent in nature aims to strengthen teams by building connections and bonds between co-workers. The Watatunga setting provides a welcome distraction from the every day to motivate and reinvigorate teams.

Both of our corporate packages also include a 90-minute private buggy tour of the reserve, in which delegates get the chance to see the most varied collection of endangered deer and antelope in Europe. So a team building day at Watatunga really is one of kind!
