Start you wild workout by checking in, getting your gear ready, and jogging to the first lake. Look around, breathe some fresh air, warm up and let’s go! Check in once you hit the lake and follow the edge of the first lake until you reach a watch tower, Tired yet? We only got started. Put your gear down and be a Houbara! Before checking in to this location you have to do five houbara jumps (Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Start by doing a squat, then engage your core and jump up explosively. Land as quietly as possible and lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep. Click here for more info). After being a houbara, jog your way to the flamingo gates, check in and look around for the pretty flamingos. After making some friends head back to your car and check in right before you get off the dirt road, Mission accomplished!
