The Cradle of Humankind site lies mainly in the Gauteng province with a small extension into the neighboring North West Province, and covers 47 000 hectares of land mostly privately owned. The Cradle of Humankind Site comprises a strip of a dozen dolomitic limestone caves containing the fossillised remains of ancient forms of animals, plants and most importantly, hominids. Hence the reference to it being the "cradle" of humankind. This world cup 2010 final accommodation promises to be an exquisite camping adventure under a magnificant African sky!

Chiefs Tented Camp is a fully inclusive mobile “safari” styled canvas Tented Camp which can accommodate up to 160 Guests. Authentic images of Africa provide the backdrop to what is arguably one of the finest Group and Incentive experiences in Southern Africa. Nights under canvas, a warm log fire and the sounds of the African bush create memorable evenings which are complemented by sumptuous buffet style meals.

Where would you want to be? In the Namib desert, the Okavango swamps, on an island in the mighty Zambezi, in the expansive plains of the Masai Mara or Serengeti? The sky is the limit in a camp of a thousand stars… Large 3m x 3m dome tents allow our guests to rest in comfort and luxury while hot water showers from 35 litre canvas buckets with brass taps exhilarate and refresh you.

The communal area consists of the Dining and Bar tents which are situated in the hub of the Tented Camp; however it’s the fire place which attracts the most attention, both day and night. Chiefs Tented Camp is renowned for its tasty and wholesome food, its soft duvets and hot water bottles and its campfire ambience. It is famous for its unique approach to keeping things simple and practical.
