The staff have absolutely amazed me, their friendly disposition was so refreshing. We have been to top class hotels country wide and never experienced such friendliness and willingness to please. I would certainly recommend Hayward’s. Love, love, love the staff! As I have mentioned above, what a pleasure to be made to feel so special and important. Giving top marks is usually not an easy task, but they are just so deserving! WOW! You have truly out – done yourselves! Gosh, here I go again! Awesome, Awesome! Where did you find these chefs? The food has been gastronomic! CONGRATS GUYS – YOU’RE UNBEATABLE!!
If you hadn’t this experience with Peter and his crew you wouldn’t believe something like THIS exists. BRAVO to all the gears of this wonderful gearbox. It works with 4×4 as well!
I stay in hotels a lot but not one of them, not even the most luxurious can beat the stay I had in this camp. Thank you for everything!
Your hospitality and attention to detail were absolutely outstanding – an experience to remember. Thank you!
Hayward’s is a great setting the staff friendliness and service is fantastic.
Everything impressed me about the tented camp. It was out of this world. Keep it up!
Overall 10 out of 10!
I felt really looked after and privileged. The only thing displeasing about my Hayward’s experience was my hangover.
Tops! Thanks Joram for a great experience!
It has been a wonderful experience.
A real safari Experience!
Fantastic experience. 5 Star service in the middle of the bush. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hope to be back one day!
Thank you for a great event!! I’ve had great feedback – even from the non-campers!!! It was a totally unique experience – one that I’m going to battle to top into the future!!! You have a great team who work very well together, who clearly show their enthusiasm and the willingness to go the extra mile.
Last week Las Vegas. This week the African bush. Mars vs. Venus. The African bush beats the American bush HANDS DOWN!
Our THIRD experience of this amazing camp, and as always thoroughly enjoyable. We spread the word whenever we can.

This is an experience I will never forget.
We would like to thank Hayward’s for a wonderful conference and a unique experience! We had fantastic feedback from staff (even from the non-campers!) that the attention to detail was awesome and the food without exception exemplary. You are an incredible team that really works well together and clearly showed enthusiasm and willingness to go the extra mile. We thank you again for a wonderful experience and hope that Hayward’s goes from strength to strength. Don’t think camping could get more pleasurable than this, thanks for treating us like royalty!”!

Peter as mentioned not only do you and your team create an unforgettable experience with standards of décor, service, food that are world class, but you teams working is inspirational!
Attention to detail, even though there were so many of us, was great, thank you.
Our sincere thanks to you and your whole team in the Okavango Delta for the wonderful time our groups from Anglo American Mining experienced. Everyone was most impressed with the standard, quality and quantity of food. The tents were most comfortable!
An incredible conference – exceptionally well done to you and your team Peter.
Professional and brilliantly planned and presented. In line with the Land Rover lifestyle. Definitely a first and a giant success – three big thank you’s!
To work with you – that is more than unbelievable!
Whenever I think about the Nissan Hardbody, I always cast my mind back four years to mid 1995 and one of the most wonderful launches I’ve ever had the privilege of attending … I was in tent 21. It was a stunningly beautiful venue. Much better than a posh hotel – that night we dined on champagne and oysters.
Awesome and authentic.
The spirit of the team.
Luxurious camping experience.
Feels like a hotel.
The detail, all the brass goodies, the old world charm and stories.
Everything was great!
I have loved the experience and would highly recommend it
Good attention to detail in the middle of the bush, great experience outdoors, necessary to detox ‘city life’.
The entire experience is Luxury and superb staff
The newest most wonderful experience.
The time spent here belongs to the most beautiful experience in my life.
48 hours gave the feeling of 2 weeks safari experience – it was just great!
43 years old and NEVER had a better experience!
I do not know how to thank you and your team for turning the New Discovery (Land Rover) launch into such a phenomenal success… the dealers cannot stop talking about the launch!
An incredible logistical exercise that met the highest expectations. Thank you and congratulations.
Very unique, great service!
Services and attention to detail. First time I’ve slept in a tent and I’m blown away.
Dining experience and salon tents.
A fantastic experience – staff are ALL excellent – a wonderful experience and I would love to come back again.
Fantastic experience, stunning.
There was always someone to attend to our every need.
The attention to detail and the nice hot showers.
Outstanding! Everything 5 STAR
Food, professional service, surroundings – WOW! Keep up the good work!
Awesome, beautiful, classy Africa at its best
This has been the highlight of South Africa.
Peter a truly wonderful experience that had a very major contribution to our leadership experience thanks to you and your great team.
Thank you for the magnificent hospitality is such a beautiful and inspiring environment.
Your attention to detail was magnificent…your people blew my head off. In any service industry it is no mean achievement to educate people to really romance the client – your people did just that!
Words seem a little limiting! This has been something really precious. Thanks to you and a really great team
You can’t take credit for the venue, (the Richtersveld National Park) but you did a miraculous job making it so comfortable” Thank you!
Our track record speaks for itself
We do this on a GRAND STYLE. Groups of between 40 and 200 are handled professionally in well-equipped camp environments that epitomize the great safaris of yesteryear. When I started out the ‘unwritten rule’ was that tented camps should not exceed 16 beds. This excluded groups from great wilderness safari areas throughout southern Africa. To this day groups cannot access certain magnificent regions – unless they hire Hayward’s Safaris of course! I went on to develop the very first large safari camps (for 80 -120 beds + 40 crew) in deserts and big 5 Game reserves between 1993 and 1999 for FILM CREWS and the odd brave Incentive groups.
