Picture this: the smell of a campfire, stars overhead, everyone laughing around the grill. Spring is the perfect time to get outdoors – and with a little planning, you can turn an ordinary trip into an unforgettable experience.
Pack Smart for Braai Bliss
Camping doesn't mean eating boring baked beans. Bring along:
- Portable gas cooker for quick breakfasts
- Wood, briquettes and firelighters for evening braais
- Cooler box for drinks and marinated meat
- Foil for easy "potjie packet" veggies and fish
Keep Everyone Clean and Comfortable
A portable gas geyser = warm showers wherever you are. Add fairy lights, camping chairs, and a decent playlist, and you've got a 5-star bush experience.
Easy Camping Meals
- Breakfast: Skillet shakshuka on a gas stove
- Lunch: Build-your-own wraps with leftovers
- Dinner: Lamb chops and braaibroodjies on the fire
- Dessert: Marshmallow s'mores or melktert jaffles
Don't Forget the Fun Stuff
Pack cards, a frisbee, or plan a mini "camp talent show" after dinner. These are the memories everyone will talk about for years.
Final Thought
Camping season is short – make it count. Mix gas convenience with the magic of real fire, eat like royalty, and soak up every golden hour sunset.
