When it comes to luxury travel, exclusivity is the ultimate currency. This release for Hayward’s Grand Safari Company positions the brand at the pinnacle of African travel experiences — mobile 5-star safari expeditions designed for royalty, celebrities, and corporate elite. With its mix of sensory storytelling and corporate appeal, it’s a great example of how I build luxury narratives that both entice and establish authority.

The Press Release

Hayward’s Secret Safaris Cater to the International Elite seeking Travel Exclusivity

Where do royalty, millionaires and corporation heads like to travel? To unique, untouched locations where no one has stepped foot before and where no one may disturb their peace, unless of course, it’s the nocturnal roar of a big cat on the prowl or sweet bird song chorusing to a pink-hued African dawn.

Celebrated as Africa’s 5-star safari specialists, Peter & Celia Hayward and their skilful service team have been conjuring up big group safari adventures and private mobile expeditions for over 25 years. Hosting high-end safari clientele and their staff entourage in Africa’s most beautiful natural wonders of sea, land and sky, many of their bespoke safari destinations lie within exclusive World Heritage Sites where access is restricted.

“You can find budget flights and hotel stays for the ordinary traveller just about anywhere on the globe these days,” says Peter Hayward, “but you can’t book a safari expedition in the era of Livingstone into untouched Africa. The Grand Safari is the art of bringing luxury living into bespoke experiences within pristine natural landscapes to co-exist in complete ecological balance. When our mobile 5-star safari expedition departs, not a blade of grade is left bent to show our group of private safari explorers were ever there.

“And we are clear that the emphasis is on privacy and personal luxury, from non-disclosure agreements to personal requests. If you want to smoke cigars from Cuba with a case of the finest wine or whisky at your side while stargazing in the Waterberg Wilderness, we are happy to oblige. If you want to set up a casino event as a private networking opportunity with a group of global business elite in the middle of the Kruger National Park’s Big 5 territory, we will make it happen. If you want to be entertained by your favourite international rock band in the Namib Desert for your 60th birthday with friends and family, we are your go-to team.”

Off the Radar

Choosing your own unique luxury destination starts by looking at the map. Then you are provided with choices for getting there and what you want to experience. Think luxury train travel, charter flights, overland vehicles, hot air balloons, luxury yachts and camel taxis.

Arrival at camp is a warm welcome which reveals only the finest in Livingstone-style safari comfort in 30 en suite Presidential Suites, manned by your personal butler. The dining tent caters to seven-course silver service meals, including mid-morning and afternoon high teas and sundowner cocktails served at various natural locations outside of camp.

When not engaged in safari excursions, Big 5 walking safaris, Big 6 diving excursions, or other business or adventure activities, a massage and spa service assist you to prepare for the evening’s black-tie events. Canapes, cocktails, oysters and champagne, wine and whiskey tastings set the tone until dinner is served and the evening’s entertainment commences.

“Culture, history, art, science, nature, adventure and food are pivotal players in each bespoke location,” says Peter, “and we incorporate choices for learning and entertainment within all of these, so our clients may experience the essence of action adventure along with immersing themselves in the local culture and current influencers that match with today’s authentically luxurious lifestyles.”

Customizable Corporate Incentives

It is not only celebrities who look for customized experiences that thrill and delight. Hayward’s Grand Safari Company is ahead of its game when it comes to one-of-a-kind travel incentives that are worthy of rewarding top corporate sales staff on international travel incentive programs that guarantee no individual participant could replicate the same for themselves or their families.

Achieving a once in a lifetime incentive trip for personally pushing the boundaries and achieving as a company incentive winner sets you apart from the rest, as you are whisked away to an unknown grand safari tented camp in the heart of iSimangaliso Wetland Park, KwaZulu-Natal. Its awe-inspiring to say the least, according to the Hayward Safaris’ latest group guests from Sanlam Connect International Convention who found themselves with breath-taking views over Lake St Lucia, backed by untouched coastal forest and dunes teeming with fauna and flora.

“One of my favourite pastimes is hunting down incredible camp site locations so we can offer guests the privilege of wilderness regions never safaried before and better still, where there are no other hotel options available, making it a truly rare and privileged occasion for all participants,” says Peter Hayward.

Whether you choose to be ensconced in a crater or the birthplace of mankind, amidst the San people, an island beach or a valley of a thousand purple tinged mountains, Hayward’s classic safari camps will take you there, just the way you want it.

Hayward’s Grand Safari Company provides tailored experiences in custom designed safari camps into unexplored Africa, compiled by experts with the utmost taste and insider knowledge for total travel exclusivity for VIP private groups and well-heeled globetrotters. Visit www.haywardsafaris.com
