Hayward's Sustainable Safaris ®...leaving behind a legacy

Ever since their launch in 1999, Hayward’s have been guiding their clients into the unique arena of Sustainable Safaris®.

Once the corporate client has quantified their event activity budget, Peter Hayward together with a highly reputable project management team, select a region for the safari event that takes into account the client’s budget and time restraints for their planned event. A base for the Hayward’s tented camp is identified nearby the selected village for the event.Peter and his team then commence a delicate collaboration with the village/regional elders to propose a selection of vital projects that will create the ongoing finance needed to mobilize their micro economy.

“A recent client of ours put aside their activities/entertainment budget whichwas over a million rand to rather bring life back into the educational facilitiesof the village outside Pilanesberg. Over and above the income they generated for the game park whilst encamped with us they took time to ensure that their two hundred delegates
would be getting involved in the lives of the villagers, said Mr Hayward.
“It’s an outstanding way to involve the delegates and utilize their vast
know-how as by the time they arrive at their Hayward’s safari encamped
on the outskirts of the village (normally in a game reserve or at our
Safari Sanctuary in the heart of Dinokeng) the project is at a stage
where their input becomes vital. It’s a flurry of activity as the teams go
about completing the various projects necessary – from bricklaying
to food gardens to fish farming, training centres and libraries!
Everyone comes away a winner making this the ultimate safari experience
and in fact brings us full circle back to the first safaris hundreds if not
thousands of years ago where the cross Africa journey by robust beast
and enquiring man was about bringing trade and interaction between tribes
and stimulating the economy wherever they went” said Mr Hayward.
