Company information

For 13 years, the Chiefs Tented Camps have been delighted to host the Namaqua Flower Beach Camp and eagerly anticipate welcoming guests again this August. Bookings are open; however, space is limited to 30 guests who will be accommodated in 15 luxury ensuite tents. The vast flower-covered landscapes and expansive skies provide visitors with a deep sense of connection and intimacy. A journey to witness the yearly wildflower spectacle in the Northern Cape would be incomplete without experiencing the Beach Camp nestled within the Namaqua National Park. We love sunsets, early morning walks, sundowners, and the ocean, gallivanting up the coast, eating fine food and drinking award-winning wines, laughter and contemplation, sunshine and mist...Namaqua is just one of those special places that capture your soul and make you wonder why you would ever want to leave!
