ABOUT CHIEFS TENTS

The Chiefs experience is characterised by three tent categories. They are deluxe tents, dome tents and warriors tents. A chiefs experience can be based exclusively on one type or a combination of all three, permitting maximum flexibility to accommodate almost all group requirements. The camp or camps can then be further designed with respect to the dining and ablution facilities, and can include variations from en-suite in the case of the deluxe tents to 'en-suite', but detached, in the case of the dome tents, to communal as is the case with warriors where between 3 and 5 tents could share a single ablution facility.

Chiefs Tented Camp is discreetly sculpted into smaller villages using the surrounding topography as well as maximising the use of trees, bushes and shrubs, giving every village of approximately 10 tents its own character and appeal. Every village is self contained with its morning coffee station and evening fireplace should guests wish to break away from the main communal fire, dining and bar area. The villages are all fully serviced.

Villages have their own identity with the Chiefs tribal influence very much in evidence with village named after famous African chiefs like Lobengula, Mzilikazi, Shaka, Murahwa, Mutapa and Monomotapa.

Every tent is set up on top of a large groundsheet. The tents are waterproof and are covered with an attachable canvas roof which stretches across the doorway to act as a porch across the entrance. Outside the entrance to every tent are two canvas director chairs, a canvas wash basin stand which is filled every morning at dawn with hot water, two paraffin storm lanterns on stands and a foot mat. Tents are furnished with two beds, comfortable mattresses, duvets, fitted sheets, pillows, towels, hot water bottles, a rechargeable electric lantern, carpet, waste paper basket and a large wooden trunk that serves as an additional storage unit and bedside table. The entire camp, pathways, ablution and communal areas are lit at night with paraffin storm lanterns that create a warm ambience while retaining the simplicity of an African night in the bush.
