Welcome to the intersection of adventure, cars and camping!

Today, we're delving into the world of camping luxury with AuKau Trailers and their flagship product, the AuKau.

Christie White chats with us about this innovative approach to camping convenience. Nestled amidst the rugged terrain of Namibia, where the spirit of exploration thrives, lies the inception of a camping revolution, he says.

“Eight years ago, driven by our love for the great outdoors, my brother-in-law and I embarked on a mission. Our goal? To craft compact trailers tailored for the adventurous souls eager to explore Namibia and beyond. Thus, AuKau Trailers was born,” he recalls.

"Our vision was clear," White explains. "We aimed to build our own small caravans designed for fellow camping enthusiasts like us. Fed up with the complexities of traditional camping setups, we sought to simplify the experience."

“Enter the AuKau, our maiden creation. Infused with meticulous craftsmanship, the AuKau offers a fusion of comfort, convenience and rugged durability. From its fully customisable interior to its robust construction, every facet of the AuKau is meticulously designed to enhance the camping experience.”

He says camping should be about relaxation and enjoyment, not frustration.

"With the AuKau, we've eradicated the headaches of traditional setups. Now, campers can focus on what truly matters – immersing themselves in nature."



Unique preferences

The AuKau boasts an array of features that read like a traveller’s dream. A spacious interior with a full-length double bed mattress ensures a rejuvenating night's sleep. Abundant storage, a hot water system and essential amenities cater to every need. And with its fully customisable design, campers can tailor the AuKau to suit their unique preferences.

Since its inception, the response to the AuKau has been overwhelmingly positive. With five units sold and more in production, AuKau Trailers is poised to redefine the camping landscape in Namibia. “But we're not content to rest on our laurels. We're already hard at work on our next innovation – a rooftop camp tent that sets up in just 45 seconds.”

"Our journey has just begun," he remarks with a smile. "We're committed to pushing the boundaries of design and functionality, ensuring that every adventurer can experience the thrill of camping in style."

As the sun sets over the Namibian horizon, casting a golden hue over the landscape, one thing is abundantly clear – with AuKau Trailers leading the charge, the future of camping has never looked brighter.
