It’s almost Father’s Day and we’re getting ready to celebrate the makers of dad jokes and bush braais. Here are five gifts your dad will love, almost as much as he loves his family and hopefully as much as he loves his golf clubs.
1. For the let’s-go-on-an-adventure dad
If your dad loves going on bush adventures, give him a duffel bag he can fit his khakis, binoculars, bird-watching books, and braai tongs in.
These duffel bags are locally manufactured by This is Africa with durable pre-washed 100% cotton canvas and webbing. They are perfect for those short getaways to the bush, beach and mountains. Their spacious size allows for all the essentials plus extras.
2. For the “Say cheese!” dad
If your dad is constantly telling you (and the animals!) to “say cheese,” he’ll get lots of use out of our Lunar Camera Strap. It makes a great companion for adventures and is a perfect gift.
With a proudly South African design, this strap is perfect for any DSLR camera or dad’s game drive binoculars. The lunar strap will help prevent him from dropping, breaking or losing his camera so he never misses out on capturing a special moment.
3. For the sunburnt-after-golf dad
This is Africa Washed Cap in Olive
The Washed Cap from This is Africa will keep dad’s face out of the sun during those long days on the golf course or while he’s watching school sports matches.
This is Africa captures a simple and discreet style. It’s locally made in South Africa and comes in five different colours which will match easily with any safari or neutral outfit.
4. For the can’t-get-enough-of-the-bush dad?
Contrasts Coffee Table Book by Chad Cocking
Chad Cocking is a guide at Tanda Tula, in the privately-owned Timbavati Private Nature Reserve that borders the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
If your dad appreciates the beauty of the bush, he’ll love this book. It showcases the contrasts of seasons, shapes and survival, captured in more than 260 images spread over 172 full-colour pages, accompanied by informative texts and captions.
Contrasts is a breathtaking book that your dad won’t be able to get enough of.
5. For the dad who has everything
If your dad already has everything he could ever want, give him a gift that gives back. These active socks support the Ground Hornbill Project and Elephants Alive Organisation.
The Ground Hornbill Project is working hard to replenish and conserve South Africa’s Ground Hornbill population which has been classified as endangered in both South Africa and Namibia. The Elephants Alive Organisation has been using science for 25 years to ensure the survival of South Africa’s elephant population.
So whenever dad is out for a jog or walking the dogs, he’ll have comfy feet for a great cause.

Whether your dad is constantly on a game drive or dreaming about the bush from his work desk, he’s definitely going to love these gift ideas. And, if your dad isn’t in South Africa, these special Father’s Day gifts can be shipped worldwide.
