Use Lighting to Enhance the Visual Impact of your Stretch Tent
Someone once said “lighting is everything,” and they were absolutely right! They were probably talking about the theatre, but the same principle applies to the event too. Nothing can ruin the mood like bad lighting. Too bright and you have no atmosphere at all. Too dark and your guests may as well be wearing blindfolds. The lighting really can dictate the mood of an event. As Aaron Rose said “In The Right Light, At The Right Time. Everything Is Extraordinary.” And it really is true. When lit correctly, the inside of a stretch tent can be transformed into another world, whether it be a fairytale wedding, a pirate’s cave, a hot and sweaty dance floor or a rocking concert.

The mandatory team building exercises that strike fear into the hearts of many no longer need to be the dread-filled experiences of the past. There are so many different and fun things to do with work colleagues and clients that these events need not be the dull and dreaded days that most come to expect from workplace parties.

Corporate Party Ideas
The idea of corporate events, work parties of team building exercises often fills those expected to participate with an impending sense of doom and leaves most people wanting to run for the hills.

Create Your Perfect Outdoor Entertainment Area
Right now we are deep in the grips of winter so it is very hard to imagine being outside, braai firing up and chommies standing around shooting the breeze. But before we know it, summer will be upon us. It’ll be time to shed the winter woollies, trade Uggs for slip slops and hot chocolate for a nice cold crisp glass of sauvignon blanc. So, what better time to start preparing for longer days and sunnier skies.

Afrika Burn 2016 in Tankwa Town
Every year, for the past decade, as the sun sets on summer and autumn begins, so too does the pilgrimage to Tankwa Town. For 11 months of the year this little corner of the Karoo is an open empty landscape inhabited by endemic flora and fauna. This very localised, fragile ecosystem is home to several species of both plant and animal that are specific to this area only. However, for that twelfth month there is an influx, a migration if you will, of creatures fiercely fantastical, loudly musical and wildly imaginative.

A Brief History of the Bedouin Tent
The history of the tent is a long and interesting tale. One of the earliest forms of shelter, the tent is associated with wanderers and nomads. From man’s most primitive days the tent was used as a form of shelter. Even the most rudimentary structures have common attributes to today’s dwellings – divided sections for different living functions, supporting structures, a roof, a floor and an entrance of some sort.
