Should you ever return to the site of your #GrandSafari experience, all you will find is perhaps some bent grass to show you were there.
Nature’s Exclusivity for your Sheer Safari Privilege
“We call it a #GrandSafari because those privileged enough to experience it are never the same again. It’s a multi-dimensional encounter when you’re in pristine wilderness areas. The dichotomy of world class luxury and issues surrounding bio and cultural diversity and the lessons that can be learned here, not only opens doors for richer engagement, they create memories and an invitation to reach further and deeper into one’s own life. It profoundly changes people’s mindset forever,” says Adventure Extraordinaire Peter Hayward, who has never missed a bespoke safari since Hayward’s inception over twenty years ago.
“It’s our privilege that while we are serving you chilled Moet and oysters on ice in camp, we are also letting you know of lioness on the hunt or that a large herd of elephant are passing so close you can hear their stomachs rumbling.”
Hayward Grand Safari Company assist with expedition and safari event planning for event and conference organisers, personal assistants and strategic corporate facilitators, planners, managers and business coordinators for groups of 40 – 200 people wanting to experience the tastes, sights, smells and ambience of an opulent, authentic African mobile tented safari camp.
