Call your squad, your wolf-pack, heck, get your family out for a day at Ground Zero Adventures! If you’re ready to pump those biceps and triceps, the river rafting is just the thing to get you going.

Maybe invite a few buddies for a ‘Braai Off’ to test each other’s skills. Or if you’re not in the mood, put your feet up while the Ground Zero team serves as your Fire-Starters, Marinaders and Braai Masters.
