Browse our selection of individual camping and road trip essentials. Add equipment to an existing Bush Kit or build your own setup by selecting the items that suit your travels.
Don’t miss the good stuff. Add a pair of binoculars to your road trip and get a closer look at wildlife, birds and those distant sightings while exploring South Africa. Compact enough to keep in the car and ideal for Kruger game drives, national parks and wildlife reserves, they’re an easy addition that can make a big difference when something interesting appears just a little too far away. If you don't want to fight over the binoculars, we recommend renting two pairs so you can enjoy the wildlife sightings together.
The 45L camping fridge is the perfect upgrade for your Bush Kit, giving you reliable cooling wherever your South African adventure takes you. Keep fresh food, drinks and other essentials properly chilled while you’re on the road or at camp. The fridge runs on 12V power in your vehicle and can also be connected to 220V mains power at campsites or accommodation. With a generous 45-litre capacity, it’s a practical addition for longer road trips, camping adventures or anyone who wants the convenience of a powered fridge instead of a cooler box. Key features: * 45L capacity * 12V power for use in your vehicle * 220V mains power for campsites and accommodation * Ideal for keeping food and drinks chilled throughout your trip * A convenient upgrade from the standard BuddyCool cooler box
Stay charged while you travel. The RED-E 512 Portable Power Station gives you a convenient source of power when you’re camping, road-tripping or spending time away from a normal plug point. Compact enough to travel easily in the vehicle, it’s ideal for charging everyday essentials such as phones, cameras, laptops, lights and other compatible electronic devices. Charge it before your trip and take portable power with you to the campsite, picnic spot or wherever your journey takes you. It’s particularly useful for weekend camping trips, festivals and off-grid stays, or simply as a backup power source when you’re travelling somewhere with limited access to electricity. Pair it with one of our camping kits or rent it as an individual add-on to give your setup a little more independence from mains power. Please note: The RED-E 512 is intended for compatible low-to-moderate power devices and is not suitable for high-draw appliances.
Make more room for the journey. A Thule roof box is an easy way to add extra luggage capacity to your vehicle, keeping the cabin clear and making longer road trips, family holidays and camping weekends that much easier. The roof box is ideal for carrying lighter, bulky items such as clothing, sleeping bags, camping gear and other travel equipment that would otherwise take up valuable space inside the vehicle. For local customers using their own vehicles, we can supply compatible roof rails and mounting brackets for a selected range of vehicles, subject to availability and vehicle compatibility. Send us your vehicle make and model and we’ll confirm whether we can assist with the complete setup. If you’re using a rental vehicle, the rental company’s permission is required before we can fit a roof box, rails or mounting equipment to the vehicle. We recommend checking this with your rental company before booking. Whether you’re heading away for a weekend or packing the family car for a longer South African road trip, it’s a simple way to take the gear you need without overcrowding the vehicle.
The Front Runner Feather-Lite Roof Top Tent is a lightweight, low-profile roof tent designed for two travellers who want a simple and comfortable way to camp. Its lightweight design makes it particularly well suited to compact SUVs and vehicles such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, as well as a wide range of other vehicles fitted with suitable roof racks. It’s a great way to turn your everyday vehicle into a practical camper without the size and weight of a traditional heavy-duty rooftop setup. The Feather-Lite opens quickly and easily, giving you a comfortable, elevated sleeping space wherever your South African road trip takes you. When it’s time to move on, simply pack it away and hit the road to your next destination. Using your own vehicle? We’ll help make sure your roof rack and vehicle are suitable before fitting the tent. Using a rental vehicle? You’ll need permission from the rental company before a roof tent can be fitted. Chat to us before booking and we can help you determine whether your rental vehicle and roof rack are suitable. Pair the Feather-Lite with one of our Bush Kits and you’ll have a compact, travel-ready camping setup for exploring more of South Africa at your own pace.
