For those ready to chase adventure and experiences off the beaten path, where pristine nature surrounds them, but aren’t quite ready to give up every comfort, meet Kruger Bush Campers. Designed to tackle rugged terrain, these purpose-built campers offer an easy pass to nature and adventure. Forget the limitations of regular RVs tethered to smooth roads and hookups. Kruger Bush Campers are a gateway to adventure, crafted with precision and built for comfort even in the toughest conditions.

The origins of the brand

Kruger Bush Campers began with a family trip to Africa. The Sauers family, always seeking adventures together, traveled through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. They were impressed by the rugged off-grid campers they saw. These were not your typical RVs; they were designed to access nature with comfort and functionality.

David Sauers, co-founder of Kruger Bush Campers, recalls the moment of inspiration: “We loved the way the campers could handle the rough road but then were ready in minutes– none of the aggravation of carrying all your stuff on your back and spending hours setting up camp. Our campers take you beyond the typical camping and to quickly enjoying the things you love– hunting, fishing, hiking, or exploring.”

To get directly to nature, the Kruger Bush Campers are both lightweight and rugged. The inspired design lets users be both sustainable and self-sufficient. As a result, the campers are durable enough to go off-road and sustainable enough to survive off-grid.

Campers built with durability in mind

Built with marine-style, molded construction, each camper has all the creature comforts. Forget uncomfortable sleeping bags, exposure to the elements, and no bathrooms.  In a Kruger Bush Camper, you don’t miss any benefits of the outdoors while enjoying the benefits of comfortable beds, slide-out kitchens, and bathrooms with showers.

The lightweight design is key to getting into undisturbed nature. The Springbok model, for example, is under 2,500 pounds—perfect for smaller tow vehicles. Larger models, still under 6,000 pounds, are ideal for midsize trucks, so adventurers can reach even the most remote locations.

“Our campers are legacy investments. Their durability is not just in their ability to go off-road, it is in their ability to stand the test of time,” adds Sauers.

Along with outstanding durability and portability, Kruger Bush Campers are packed with innovative features that make off-grid living enjoyable. Solar panels come standard on the larger models and are available as an option on the smaller model. Sauers shares that solar panels provide sustainable energy for those who want to enjoy nature longer.

Features tailored for off-grid experiences

Water storage is another critical consideration for going off-grid, so Kruger Bush Campers are designed with built-in water storage solutions and efficient management systems. 

“With our water storage systems, campers can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about running out of essential resources,” Sauers notes.

Another feature is the slide-out kitchen, designed with convenience and functionality in mind. Whether in the middle of a forest or on the edge of a desert, campers can easily prepare meals while enjoying nature.

“Our slide-out kitchens allow for more interior room in the camper while making it easy to prepare meals outdoors,” says Sauers.

The interior and exterior designs of Kruger Bush Campers are all about practicality. From the quick and easy setup to the well-thought-out storage solutions, these campers are designed to maximize adventure time.

“We designed our campers for quick and easy setup. It can take hours to set up camp with tents, and you are still sleeping on the ground. Our campers take minutes and sleep in comfort,” Sauers explains. 

Plus, traditional RVs often come with limitations—weight, size, and dependency on developed campsites—that restrict where they can go. Kruger Bush Campers break these barriers with their rugged, off-grid capabilities, allowing adventurers to explore beyond the typical RV parks and into the heart of nature.

“These are more than just campers. They are the conduit to adventure and discovery,” Sauers explains.

Wild Willies’ 5 steps to achieving the perfect beard, even on these hot summer days

Anyone without a beard mistakenly believes that beards are for lazy people who think daily shaving is a nuisance. They couldn’t be more wrong. Maintaining a healthy beard could be hard work and overwhelming, especially if you are new to it. Everyone has a different reason for sporting a beard. Some people think that beards evolved to attract women, and others believe that beards developed for male competition instead. In the end, there are no conclusive scientific studies about why male facial hair is popular, so grow a beard because you like it.

Millennial and Gen Z men are doing just that, turning to beards to express their personal style and individuality. But what about these record-hot summer days? If you enjoyed the warmth of a beard during the winter, won’t you suffer now? The answer is no. While beards are warm in the winter, they are cool in the summer, something that bearded men have long known. A quick look at evaporation science proves that perspiration when it is wicked away from the skin by beard hairs, cools the face as it evaporates.
