From humble beginnings to adventure leaders
Johnny and Annelize Loots always had a passion for the outdoors. Their journey began with a simple caravan renovation project driven by the challenge of making travel more comfortable for their family. With determination and a knack for problem-solving, the Loots transformed their first caravan using nothing but a jigsaw, family help, and creativity. What started as a personal project quickly evolved into a successful business when they sold the caravan within 24 hours. Encouraged by the rapid sale, Johnny and Annelize went on to convert nearly 30 caravans from their driveway, leading to the birth of Bushwakka Adventure Gear.
Today, Bushwakka stands as a global brand with a commitment to helping adventurers explore the outdoors with quality camping gear designed for ease and comfort.
