Lord about in a Land Rover, crack off a few shots with your 12 bore shotgun and dine opulently; this experience is a perfect chance to see how the other half live. Start your day with coffee, tea and bacon rolls, then receive a safety briefing and get teamed up before moving onto the action. Escorted by your highly trained instructor, your team will try the first of the activities available throughout the day, be that clay shooting on the fully equipped range, driving an open shell two-seater dune buggy, a spot of archery or getting back to nature driving a 4x4. Have a go at each of the four pursuits in turn during your memorable day in the wild. Sit down together and discuss who was best at what as you enjoy fine dining in the All Seasons restaurant where you will be sufficiently pampered with a four-course gourmet meal, before heading back out for some more japery. Conclude the experience at The Lodge with drinks at the bar and superb homemade cakes.

Polo: a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick whilst travelling at speed on board a vehicle with a mind of its own. Sound insane? It's time to find out for yourself, even if you're not a royal or a snake-hipped Argentinian. And even if you don't know how to ride. You'll start off being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors, including ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (don't worry, all the terminology will be explained). Then you'll mount a mechanical horse to learn the basic polo swings. Next you'll mount a polo pony (a real one this time) to improve your skills and take part in a 'stick and ball' session. After a buffet lunch there's a video on game tactics, more stick and ball sessions and finally, instructional chukkas so you can put all your new skills into practice. Fast-paced and skilful, polo is an exciting, challenging sport (even without an HRH).

Golf isn't a sport that a beginner can try without any coaching first, and lessons from your best mate or your other half is a recipe for golf clubs at dawn. So this experience at a Marriott Golf Academy is a perfect introduction to the sport. You'll start off with a coffee before heading to the academy or the driving range, where you'll spend the morning working on your basic swing. After a break for lunch, you'll then be taught the short game ('short' refers to the length of the shot, not the length of the game), including chipping and putting. The golf pros will be on hand all day to help you develop your technique and swing, give advice on different types of shot and guide you through the mysteries of club selection. You'll also receive a copy of the specially-produced 'Learn to Play Golf' programme.
