Large-scale Camps

A dream come true for the hospitality, festival and sporting industry

Need hospitality accommodation for your sporting events, festivals and other large-scale events? You just need to arrive, put your feet up, get your chill on …or get the party started! We provide a clean, cosy, private space under canvas with proper beds, duvets, linen, pillows and a blanket…or if you like we will provide a mattress with a sheet, sleeping bag and a pillow. Hot communal showers and flush toilets will reassure and appease even the fussiest glamper! If you want to take it to the next level consider a deluxe experience with all the bells and whistles of a boutique canvas hotel. You will wake up refreshed and ready to dust off your tackies, jump on your saddle or start the party all over again.

MEET THE FAMILY

Our dynamic team have traveled the length and breadth of Southern Africa, creating the most amazing experiences in extraordinary locations.

One ongoing character trait perfectly defines the Chiefs Team as a whole – tenacity. The ability to deliver a professional, life-changing and memorable experience despite the odds, every time, without fail. Sometimes the temperatures reach -7 degrees and can soar to 52 degrees, the wind can blow a gale or the skies can open up, but you can be sure that our team will rise to the occasion – every time.
