Braai Master Essentials
Where every good braai starts: the grill, the fire, the tools and the hands that make it happen.
Perfect for first-time campers, family Saturdays or a flat driveway where you don't want to lug a heavy brazier. Folds flat in the boot and comes back just as sturdy - just level it on the ground before you start so the coals don't roll.
Weber® Jumbo Joe Charcoal Grill, 18‑Inch, Black
Great if you've got a kettle or round charcoal grill and the old grid has started to stick. The easy-lift handles make changing coals and flipping meat much cleaner - oil it once a season so it keeps freeing itself.
Weber Charcoal Cooking Grate for 22" Grills
A proper pair of tongs and a spatula that won't let you down when the meat is sizzling and the kids are hovering. Stainless, simple and easy to rinse under the tap - snap them shut before they come off the coals so the locking clip does its job.
Weber Original Portable 2-Piece Stainless Tool Set
A must if your kids love making fire or you've ever cursed damp wood under the stars. These rods spark in the rain, need no batteries, and a pack of two means you can stash one in the boot and one in the bag. Keep them dry and use a pocket knife to s...
West Lake Tactical 2-Pack 1/2"x5" Ferro Rods
Skip the lighter fluid: just pile in the charcoal and light the paper at the bottom. Great if cold coals have ever ruined your braai and you want a reliable start every time. Tip: empty the ash after each use so the air keeps flowing.
Weber® Rapidfire Chimney Starter, Standard, Silver
Long insulated gloves that reach up your forearm, so you can move a hot grid or lift a pot off the fire without flinching. Tip: keep them in your braai basket so they're always there when you need them.
Artisan Griller BBQ Heat Resistant Cooking Gloves
Set Up Camp
Shade, a place to sit, and a flat surface — the three things that turn a patch of grass into a proper braai setup.
If you're the kind who sits on the ground and then pretends your back is fine until 3am, this is the chair for you. It packs down to a flat bundle that slides between car seats, sets up in a few pulls, and the mesh back keeps you from turning into a ...
Coleman Portable Camping Chair with 4-Can Cooler
A no-drama tent for weekend trips, school camps and the first time a child is allowed to sleep outside. It pitches in about ten minutes, comes with the rainfly so a summer shower doesn't ruin the blankets, and the mesh keeps the air moving on hot nig...
Coleman Sundome Camping Tent with Rainfly
Morning coffee in the carpark, a packed lunch by the river or a beach day where the sand gets everywhere - this blanket wipes clean in a minute and folds into a pouch small enough for the glovebox. The water-resistant backing means damp grass doesn't...
Little Unicorn 5'x5' Outdoor Picnic Blanket
A no-fuss sleeping bag for weekend trips, the school camp packing list and the first autumn when the ground finally starts to bite. It's a 3-season mummy that packs down into its own stuff sack, so there's always one stashed where you can actually re...
FARLAND 3 Season Sleeping Bag for All Ages
A light folding table that's big enough for plates, a pot and the salads, so nothing has to sit in the grass. Tip: make sure the legs click fully into place before you put anything heavy on it.
SUNNYFEEL Folding Camping Table - Lightweight Aluminum Portable Picnic Table
A foam sleeping pad that never goes flat and never needs pumping up. It's tough enough for kids and stony campsites. Tip: put it under your sleeping bag for an extra layer of warmth on cold veld nights.
Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Original Sleeping Pad
Cosy Nights Under the Stars
Once the sun goes down, it's all about warmth, light, and not forgetting your favourite snacks.
A four-pack means you can hang one inside the tent, drop one by the sitting blanket, and keep two in the boot for when the power's down at home. They clip to a bag handle or the tent pole in seconds and the soft light doesn't blind the kids once they...
4 Pack Camping Lanterns Tent Lights
A proper headlamp takes the panic out of midnight bathroom trips and fire-checks around the brazier. It's feather-light, USB-C rechargeable and the 360 lumen modes mean you can drop it to a gentle glow for reading in the tent or punch it up to find t...
Nitecore NU20 Classic 360lm Ultralight Headlamp
Cook & Chill
Good food and cold drinks, wherever you set up.
A two-burner gas stove for when you need pap on one side and a pan on the other. It's reliable heat when the coals are still getting ready. Tip: pack a spare gas canister, because it always runs out at the worst moment.
Coleman Classic 2-Burner Propane Stove
A 13-piece stainless steel braai and camping utensil kit that zips into one carry bag: spatula, tongs, knives, skewers and more, so nothing goes missing between the kitchen and the fire. It's perfect for camping trips or keeping a dedicated braai kit...
13 PC Stainless Steel BBQ & Camping Utensils Set
A soft cooler bag that fits in the boot where a hard cooler box won't. It's perfect for meat, milk and cold drinks. Tip: freeze a few water bottles the night before. They keep everything cold and give you drinking water by afternoon.
Carhartt Camping Cooler Soft Shell Lunch Bag
A double-wall steel mug that keeps your coffee hot on a chilly camping morning and can handle being dropped on gravel. Tip: dry it upside down so it stays fresh-tasting.
