The temporary nature of Haywards maximises wildlife interventions as animals circulating their territory are always inquisitive to venture closer and have a look at what Hayward's is all about. We've had herds of elephant visit the camp, prides of lion, buffalo, and even rhino walk through the middle of our camps. All animals have right of way, and guests work together with our superb guides to ensure animals are not panicked in any way.
