Our Campers
Our 4x4 and VW campers are not glistening new vehicles bought a few months ago...They are hardened veterans of the African bush who have lived their lives out in the rough terrain of Southern Africa. They have the scars and scratches to prove that they are true overlanders. We think that gives each vehicle a character of its own...
Although our campers are well-maintained and mechanically sound, we have a 800km limit on the distance they can travel from our base in Napier, as our focus is primarily on the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape.
Our campers are meant for touring and camping, not for hectic 4x4 trails, demanding mountain passes like Swartberg Pass or dune bashing for fun...So please only consider hiring our vehicles if you are serious about camping in one of the many amazing campsites in the Western Province.
Mitsu

Mitsu is fitted with a 85L fuel tank that has a range of around 500km on average, depending on speed travelled and terrain.

She no longer travels outside the borders of South Africa, and must stay within the area of The Western, Northern and Eastern Provinces.
