He is an active hands on owner and enjoys creating incredible safari events for his clients. We have a senior management team of approximately nine staff and our crew can expand and contract by up to ninety. This means that the same team taking your brief actually delivers the product originally promised to you. Groups of between forty (40) and two hundred (200) are handled professionally in well-equipped camp environments that epitomize the great safaris of yesteryear. This excluded groups from great wilderness safari areas throughout southern Africa. It has been an exciting 20 years for me personally, developing Hayward’s for group event and becoming the leading tented hotel concept in Southern Africa. Hayward’s Grand Safari mobile hotel was created in recognition of the last 1000 years of trader safaris and expeditions in Africa. Since then Hayward’s has been growing organically each year as different tent designs have come into service and the comfort of the camp has seen continuous upgrades in the last 15 years. In a Big 5 game reserve with lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant visiting us periodically, it also has a long list of safety precautions in place. Hayward’s is undoubtedly an unsurpassed authentic safari experience and a feather in South Africa’s tourism hat. When mobilized and en route with over 20 trucks, Hayward’s consists of over 400 tons of equipment and constitutes more than 38’000 items needed to build the all service venue ensuring maximum guest comfort. When you go to this much trouble to set up shop, there is no point in tasteless mediocre food! Six to Eight course dinners, roving picnic luncheons, al fresco bush breakfast and high teas call for another type of forethought. Food itself in the middle of the wilderness takes huge imagination. The HAYWARD’s SAFARI SANCTUARY is HQ for the group. This seasonal camp concept, provides a great alternative for groups wishing to reduce travelling time, logistics and unnecessary costs. Ms Celia du Preez, a veteran safari campaigner for Hayward’s and in her 8th year at the company, is Peter Hayward’s Deputy Camp Manager and also the Executive Production Officer of the company ensuring quotations and safari productions are simultaneously handled to perfection. Her team of administrators and production staff are dedicated to keeping the Hayward’s flag flying for outstanding safari service. A tented camp company that specializes in providing exclusive and private safari styled events for private group functions anywhere in southern Africa. Each custom designed tented camp is created specifically for your function! Optional activities may include guided game drives, walks, archery, clay pigeon shooting, horse trails, mountain biking, canoeing, fly fishing, falconry, hot air ballooning, tracking Big 5, photographic and art workshops, community outreach programs, wildlife rehabilitation programs and many more concepts and ideas to keep your group enthralled. Prices per safari event are determined on a per-event basis and depend on the scope of the event, the number of days on safari and of course, distances travelled to set up camp. Safari expeditions over three to five day excursions offer guests an unrivalled opportunity to experience our hospitality and the African bush in style. Hayward’s Grand Tented Safaris are typically a once-in-a-lifetime experience and cannot be compared to a more typical hotel stay.
