Caravan review: Safari Delta 21

John Ford checked out the Safari Delta and discovered a luxurious van without the weight to match

Not everyone wants a loud and dirty offroader, even if they plan to travel far. Plenty of travelling couples instead embrace the comforts of a well-equipped caravan park, as can be witnessed in the many popular venues along the North Queensland coast in winter. 

The annual migration to anywhere warmer than Noosa sees thousands of colder climate couples pack the van and hit the road, and although much of the Bruce Highway is pretty rough, you don't need an offroad van to handle the trip.

Safari vans are produced in Melbourne but have enjoyed an exclusive partnership with Trounce Caravans in Ballarat for more than 15 years. Trounce Caravans is a family run business with two brothers at the helm, and according to marketing manager Kris Bird, the Delta 21 with club lounge has been the most popular model in the range over the last 12 months, thanks to couples wanting a van that can handle extended times away while enjoying plenty of room and comfort.

THE EXTERIOR

Smooth composite panelling along the sides has the contemporary appeal that is so well accepted because it looks great and has better thermal properties than raised profile aluminium. The disadvantage is that the composite material is around 80kg heavier than the thinner aluminium strips in a van of this size. Still, it's also more hail and damage resistant, and in the whirl of swings and roundabouts, it generally comes out on top. 

The composite continues over both ends, and a high panel of checkerplate all the way round is probably more for show than protection. Graphics of distressed wheel tracks set in dark panels of stylised carbon fibre along the sides and across the back break up the large areas of white but might be a little incongruous on a touring van.

I noticed in the yard that none of the Safari vans on display had either a front window or front boot, and this is a deliberate decision for two reasons. Firstly, these are notoriously difficult to seal against water ingress, and secondly, the front boot takes precious internal space. So instead, a tunnel boot runs under the bed and offers plenty of functional storage.

A 50mm AL-KO ball hitch connects to the tow vehicle, and two 9kg gas bottles sit high on the A-frame. Underneath is an FP ladder-style chassis from 150 x 50mm Australian steel with a Duragal treatment. The suspension is Simplicity load sharing tandem leaf springs rated to 3200kg, and while the system is mainly directed to main road travel, it will handle some rougher ground as long as you drive to the conditions — in other words, keep your speed down. 

Brakes are 10in drums at all axles, and wheels are smart looking 15in black spoked alloys shod with road tyres. 

Along the passenger side is a locking fold-down picnic table with the standard 12V TV and 240V outlets, while overhead are two bright LED lights. A single spare sits on a three-arm bar at the back, and a safety Dave rear view camera is standard.

THE INTERIOR

I really like the interior design of the Safari, where the timber features blend with satin finishes for a very welcoming feel. It was only 10 or so years back that the industry moved away from the traditional build of wood to a mix of bright joinery. The current trend seems to be going back to timber highlights, and it’s a real winner for me.

The rear door layout places the bed in the most popular place — up front and away from the entry. A full-width ensuite runs across the back, leaving the central space as a roomy relaxing and dining area. The review version of the Safari Delta 21 has a club lounge along the passenger side and the kitchen opposite. 

Walls and ceiling are finished in white, while dark grey cabinets and upholstery along with white cupboard faces add to the modern theme. The joinery is neatly finished, and built in lightweight ply and includes piano hinges, sturdy metal drawer runners and positive lock catches.

Because the van is longer than usual, it has enough length to include a roomy club or U-shaped lounge, which is big enough to comfortably seat five when extras call around for a drink, or for a couple to spread out when watching TV. 

An optional ‘Black Pack’ consists of black sink and tap wear in both the kitchen and bathroom as well as a black tinted door at the shower. It also provides for the face of the 190L three-way fridge, although Kris tells me it’s the only colour available at present from Dometic, so all vans have a black fridge. 

The bathroom has plenty of room to move and has a crisp feeling and good ventilation from overhead fans. A 3kg washer sits under the timber vanity.

Included in the kitchen is a gas/electric cooktop with grill. Bench space is limited, but the cover over the stove adds to the preparation area as usual. Storage, however, is excellent with a floor-to-ceiling pantry next to the fridge and lots of room in overhead cupboards. 

The north-south bed has easy access from each side and the standard features of side and overhead storage. Storage underneath is shared with the tunnel boot but leaves enough room for extra bedding and so on.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY

While not a dedicated bush camper, there is enough water and power to stay off-grid when you want to. The fridge and hot water run on gas, and a 160W solar panel charges a single 120Ah battery for enough power to run lights and the TV for days. 

Charging is through a solar charger and the excellent (and Aussie-made) BMPro Genius 30-35 battery management system. All the electronics are beautifully installed in an overhead cupboard and include water tank gauges and a sound/DVD system. 

An added advantage of this onboard technology is that you can save a few dollars because you don't really need a powered site in a caravan park — as long as you don’t have to have the Ibis 4 air conditioner running, that is.

Weighing in with a tare of 2370kg and an ATM of 3200kg, the maximum payload is a generous 830kg — even with full gas and water tanks, you have around 600kg left to load the van. But reduce the amount of cargo, and you could keep the weight under 3t and make the van legal for several mid-size tow vehicles. 

For our review, we hitched to a Jeep Cherokee with a 3L V6 turbodiesel. Before heading to Lake Burrumbeet, we had a run down the motorway at the legal 110km/h with the Delta sitting smoothly behind. The van was just as impressive along country roads and the dirt tracks around the lake, where it towed silently and smoothly without any vices.

Every van is weighed when it arrives at the dealership, so you know its plated weight is correct once any accessories are fitted. The Safari range all comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty, and by all accounts, the Trounce team has a decent reputation for fixing any issues.

The standout feature of the Delta 21 is the roomy club lounge. It adds a level of comfort and homeliness for couples wanting to spend lengthy time travelling or camped up in the van.

Price is $65,490, including the $1000 optional Black Pack. That’s good value in today’s market for a van of this size and level of quality. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that, like every manufacturer at present, build times have blown out for months ahead. 

The Delta 21 will suit couples who like the idea of a van with room to move but without the weight of a big offroader. It will be most at home in caravan parks but will follow you into most coastal national parks without complaint as long as you drive to the conditions. 

DON'T BLOW A FUSE

I noticed on the BMPro battery management system that only the fuse for the television was marked. When I asked Kris why this was so, he said it was the only circuit that gave trouble. Owners like to disconnect the television when travelling, so it doesn't swing around and damage the van or the unit itself. He reckons that many owners in all brands will experience blown fuses with their NCE television, which is common in many vans. The base of the panel for the various plugs is metal, and if you plug the 12V lead into its socket but miss and hit the base plate, you will short out the TV and blow a fuse. You can solve this by being more careful, of course, but more practically, by never plugging the fuse in after travel when the power is connected. The fix is simple, and it's a wonder other dealers haven't noticed the issue.

SAFARI TAMER

The outback is calling.

Purpose built for off-road caravanning

Get off the beaten track! The Roadstar Safari Tamer is perfect for couples with a keen sense of adventure and a burning desire to get off the beaten track and see more of Australia the most people could imagine.  A true off-road caravan, the award-winning Safari Tamer has definitely earned its reputation with incredible attention to detail, meticulous fit and finish and so much more.

Built for safety as much as adventure, the Safari Tamer includes a fully insulated aluminium-clad frame, Sisalation® insulation in the ceiling, and comes with two spare tyres for any off-road emergencies. With galvanised under-floor sheeting and heavy duty galvanised terrain protection bars on its sides, this van can take whatever Australia can throw at it. The Safari Tamer also comes with rear skid and 4.0-tonne shackle anchor points, safety guards on the A-frame for stone protection, as well as front and rear-mounted adjustable LED lamps to provide light when setting up camp in the bush or in an emergency situation. The composite paneling and signature Roadstar decals also offer a modern touch of class to accompany this rugged and robust caravan.  The external entertainment hatch and speakers will allow you to enjoy a movie or sport on the TV in the alfresco setting of your choice – just choose a site to set the scene!

However, this tough unit has a much softer side. The modern plywood CNC architectural furniture is the height of contemporary design and innovation; the tri-fold table and new dual density comfort club lounge take pride of place in the interior. This is accompanied by a queen-size bedroom flooded with natural light, made possible by the extra-large, Euro-style double-glazed windows.  The kitchen is equipped with modern looking brand name appliances, soft close drawers and premium laminates.  Reverse cycle heating and cooling will keep you comfortable while you explore and the full range of entertainment options including the TV/DVD combo and Fusion entertainment system will keep you going in the event of rain.

The Dexter Torflex suspension on single axle caravans or the ALKO beam axle rocker suspension on tandem axle caravans, ensure a smooth and safe ride whilst you are on the road to your next destination. The Supagal chassis made from BHP Steel has been built by engineers with over 40 years of experience, to give you the peace of mind on the road that you deserve.

Discovering the Origins of Safari Caravans

Have you ever wondered about the origins of safari caravans and how they have evolved over time?

We will explore the definition of safari caravans, the different types available, and where and when the concept first began.

We will also discuss the benefits of choosing a safari caravan over other travel options and popular destinations to embark on a safari adventure.

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of safari caravans and the unique experiences they offer.

Key Takeaways:

• Safari caravans are a type of mobile accommodation primarily used for safari adventures.
• The concept of safari caravans originated in Africa and was first used by European explorers for transportation and shelter while on safari.
• Over time, safari caravans have evolved with modern technologies and offer a more sustainable and cost-effective way to travel compared to other options.

What Are Safari Caravans?

Safari caravans are specially equipped vehicles used for exploring the wilderness and wildlife in various destinations, offering a unique and adventurous way to experience nature up close.

These dedicated vehicles are typically designed with elevated height and reinforced structures to navigate through rough terrains and offer an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscapes and wildlife. Safari caravans are equipped with amenities such as comfortable seating, storage compartments for gear, and sometimes even basic kitchen facilities to ensure travelers have a safe and convenient journey.

What Is The Definition Of A Safari Caravan?

A safari caravan refers to a convoy of vehicles, historically used by explorers like David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley, to traverse the rugged terrain of East Africa in search of adventure, discovery, and encounters with African wildlife.

These journeys represented a pivotal period in the exploration of Africa’s vast and untamed landscapes. Safari caravans were essential for these intrepid explorers as they navigated through dense jungles, crossed expansive savannahs, and braved unknown territories. The caravans were equipped with supplies, equipment, and provisions necessary for surviving the harsh conditions of the African wilderness.

Traveling in a safari caravan enabled the explorers to delve into uncharted territories, interact with indigenous tribes, and document flora and fauna previously unknown to the Western world.

What Are The Different Types Of Safari Caravans?

Safari caravans can vary from traditional caravans used by European explorers for trading along ancient trade routes to modern, eco-friendly vehicles designed for African wildlife viewing and conservation efforts.

Historically, safari caravans played a crucial role in early explorations of Africa, enabling adventurers to traverse the vast and rugged terrains while establishing trade relations with local communities. These caravans were often led by experienced guides and heavily loaded with goods for exchange, navigating through challenging landscapes and encountering various wildlife species along the way. Over time, the concept of safari evolved to prioritize environmental conservation and sustainable tourism, giving rise to specialized vehicles equipped with advanced technologies for minimal impact on the natural ecosystem.

What Are The Origins Of Safari Caravans?

The origins of safari caravans can be traced back to the Victorian era when hunting safaris led by explorers like Frederick Courtenay Selous and adventurers like Ernest Hemingway popularized the concept of traversing Africa’s wilderness in search of big game trophies.

These safari caravans were not just about the hunt; they represented a fusion of exploration, adventure, and cultural immersion. As these expeditions gained popularity, they attracted not only seasoned hunters but also curious travelers eager to witness the magnificence of African wildlife up close. The allure of observing majestic creatures in their natural habitat was a driving force behind the appeal of safari caravans, turning them into an iconic symbol of exploration and discovery.

When And Where Did The Concept Of Safari Caravans Begin?

The concept of safari caravans began to gain prominence in the early 20th century, with figures like Edward VIII and prominent explorers adapting the caravan lifestyle even amidst the disruptions of World War I.

During this tumultuous period, safari caravans provided a unique escape into the wilderness for those seeking adventures far from the urban chaos. Edward VIII himself, known for his love of exotic travel, was one of the prominent figures who embraced this nomadic lifestyle, venturing into the wild terrains of Africa.

Explorers and adventurers found solace in the simplicity and freedom of caravan living, allowing them to immerse themselves in nature while retaining a sense of comfort. This era marked a significant shift in how people perceived travel, blending luxury with a raw, untamed experience.

Who First Used Safari Caravans?

The pioneering use of safari caravans can be attributed to Brian Miller , a seasoned explorer who embarked on daring expeditions from the coastal town of Zanzibar, venturing deep into the heart of East Africa in search of adventure and discovery.

Brian Miller’s expeditions were not just about exploring the unknown but also about engaging with the local communities and wildlife that thrived in the untamed landscapes of Africa. His journeys were marked by encounters with majestic elephants, fierce lions, and the diverse cultures of the region.

Miller’s approach to exploration was characterized by a deep respect for nature and a keen sense of curiosity that drove him to push the boundaries of geographical knowledge. His use of safari caravans revolutionized the way expeditions were conducted in Africa, allowing for greater mobility and flexibility in traversing the vast and challenging terrain.

What Was The Purpose Of Safari Caravans?

The primary purpose of safari caravans evolved from colonial administration and trade expeditions to encompass wildlife viewing, conservation efforts, and promoting tourism, facilitating a deeper connection with local cultures and communities.

As the world transitioned from the colonial era, safari caravans shifted their focus towards environmental preservation and sustainable tourism. These expeditions now serve as platforms for ecotourism initiatives and engage in conservation projects to protect endangered species and their habitats.

Modern safari caravans play a crucial role in educational tourism , offering travelers a chance to learn about the ecosystems and local wildlife in a hands-on manner. Through partnerships with indigenous communities, these caravans strive to promote cultural exchanges and foster understanding between tourists and locals.

How Have Safari Caravans Evolved Over Time?

Safari caravans have undergone significant transformations over the years, integrating modern technologies such as cameras for wildlife photography, while maintaining the essence of exploring the diverse landscapes and wildlife of Africa.

From their inception as vehicles for navigating the untamed terrains of Africa, safari caravans have adapted to the demands of the modern explorer. The incorporation of high-resolution cameras has revolutionized the way adventurers capture the breathtaking beauty of the savannah.

While technology enhances the photographic experience, the heart of safari excursions remains rooted in the raw thrill of encountering majestic creatures in their natural habitat. This harmonious blend of innovation and tradition ensures that the allure of African safari expeditions endures, captivating generations of nature enthusiasts.

What Changes Have Been Made To Safari Caravans?

Recent changes to safari caravans have emphasized eco-tourism , anti-poaching initiatives, and sustainable interactions with local communities, fostering a more responsible approach to wildlife viewing and conservation.

These modifications reflect a growing awareness in the industry about the importance of environmental conservation and community involvement. Safari operators are now incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels and electric vehicles into their operations to reduce their carbon footprint. There is a significant focus on developing eco-friendly accommodations that blend harmoniously with the surrounding wildlife habitats.

• One of the key goals of these changes is to minimize the impact of tourism on delicate ecosystems and wildlife populations, promoting a more sustainable model of travel.
• Safari companies are increasingly investing in anti-poaching technology such as drones and tracking devices to protect endangered species from illegal hunting.
• Another crucial aspect is the involvement of local communities in tourism activities, creating opportunities for them to benefit economically while also fostering a sense of stewardship for the natural environment.

This shift towards a more holistic and conservation-focused safari experience not only offers travelers a chance to engage with nature responsibly but also plays a vital role in safeguarding the future of endangered species and promoting sustainable tourism practices.

How Have Modern Technologies Affected Safari Caravans?

Modern technologies like advanced water pump systems and efficient gas appliances have revolutionized the comfort and convenience of safari caravans, providing explorers with enhanced amenities during their wilderness adventures.

These modern advancements in caravan equipment have not only made the travel experience more comfortable but also safer. The implementation of smart sensor technology in water pump systems allows for better monitoring and conservation of water resources. The integration of high-efficiency gas appliances has significantly reduced the overall carbon footprint of caravan trips, aligning with sustainable tourism practices.

Travelers can now enjoy hot showers, cooked meals, and climate-controlled interiors, thanks to these innovative technologies. The incorporation of intelligent power management systems ensures reliable energy supply, enabling campers to stay connected and powered up even in remote locations.

One of the key advantages of embarking on a safari caravan is the unparalleled wildlife interactions that guests can experience. Imagine being just a few feet away from a majestic elephant or witnessing a pride of lions in their natural habitat. These encounters create unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the animal kingdom.

Safari caravans provide immersive natural excursions that allow travelers to delve into the heart of breathtaking landscapes. Participants can witness stunning sunsets over the savannah, track wildlife on foot with experienced guides, and learn about the delicate ecosystems that sustain these diverse habitats.

Opting for a safari caravan opens up the opportunity for remote exploration, taking travelers off the beaten path to discover hidden gems and untouched wilderness. Companies like Eagle Brewery curate off-the-grid itineraries that showcase the raw beauty of nature, providing a sense of adventure and discovery that is unparalleled in conventional travel experiences.

What Are The Cost Comparisons Of Safari Caravans And Other Travel Options?

When comparing the costs, safari caravans often provide a cost-effective means to explore game reserves and stay at safari lodges, offering travelers the chance to immerse themselves in the African wilderness without compromising on comfort or experiences.

Embarking on a safari caravan journey allows travelers to enjoy the flexibility of setting their own travel pace, deciding which game reserve to explore and how long to stay. This autonomy not only adds to the charm of the adventure but also allows for a personalized experience tailored to individual preferences. The camaraderie that develops among fellow caravan explorers fosters a sense of community, creating lasting memories and connections. The inclusive nature of caravan tours often covers accommodation costs in luxury safari lodges, ensuring a delightful mix of comfort and wildlife encounters in an affordable package.

What Are The Environmental Benefits Of Safari Caravans?

Safari caravans contribute to environmental conservation by promoting sustainable tourism practices, minimizing the ecological impact of traditional trading routes established by European explorers, and fostering a harmonious relationship between travelers and the natural habitats they explore.

One of the key advantages of safari caravans lies in their ability to offer travelers a unique opportunity to engage with nature while respecting and preserving the delicate ecosystems they traverse. By following designated routes, these caravans help minimize human disturbance to wildlife and vegetation, ensuring that these areas remain pristine for generations to come. Safari caravans often prioritize eco-friendly accommodations and activities, further reducing their overall impact on the environment.

Made in Stroud: a brief history of the Safari caravan

Last orders: popular landlord decides to call time

All hands to the pumps in quest for community-owned pub, ex-teachers pay tribute to ‘outstanding all-round sportsman’ paul burns, revealed: latest news on much-loved pub, pictures: tall ships head to gloucester festival.

From the 1940s to the early 80s Stroud was home to one of the country’s premier caravan manufacturers, Safari. The company was founded in 1946 by Jim Pearman and operated from a workshop in Cainscross where the Co-op store now stands.

In the early days the company produced just one model, the Minor, a nine-foot two-berth caravan. The company moved from Cainscross to Bowbridge in around 1957 or 58, to a 23,000 square-foot site at the former Eagle Brewery (behind the British Oak pub on London Road), as former employee Mike Lane recalls: “I started there in December 1958 and the company hadn’t been there very long.

“I worked as a polisher – it was the best place I ever worked – we had fun, they were a good bunch of lads and we earned good money, too.”

Safari caravans earned a reputation as a quality product, and the hand-made construction was carried out to a high standard. The interiors were made by skilled craftsmen: “Fittings were built on solid oak frames and doors were either oak veneer on plywood or solid oak,” said Mike.

Brian Miller, who runs the Classic Safari Caravans group on Facebook, which has 990 members, said: “They are great caravans, always in the top three of British caravan manufacturers.

“At their height they employed 40 staff and were producing seven caravans a week. It’s the only classic caravan with real style – the distinctive mollycroft roof design – the raised section – started in early railway carriages and carried on to showmen’s caravans. Safari was the last manufacturer to use that style.”

“They were the best in the world,” said Mike, “The 17/S model, a 17-foot four-berth caravan, is the ‘Rolls-Royce’. It was the most expensive (it cost £8,129 in 1982) and had an end bedroom. It had thick carpet, good upholstery – all top-notch stuff.

“Safari was all coach built, so it was twice the price of a Bailey caravan.”

However, the industry was changing and by the 1960s and 70s many smaller makers were being bought out. “Sprite started buying lots of independent manufacturers,” said Brian.

“A company called Cosalt bought Safari in 1968 for an estimated £180,000 and production continued in Stroud until 1982 when operations were moved to Grimsby. By 1985 all the traditional manufacturers had been taken over by big operations.”

It’s estimated 6,000 Safari caravans were produced between 1948 and 1982. The classic Safari design was replaced in 1981 by the XL range, a Safari in name only. The last caravan to carry the Safari name was launched in 1985, built on the lines of an Abbey Executive caravan.

The Eagle Mill Close housing development was built on the site of the factory in the 1990s, and there are now very few clues it ever stood there.

There is still a solid fan base for Safari caravans: “I’d suggest around 500 still exist,” said Brian, who compiles a register of the serial numbers of existing Safaris. “There are a couple in Australia, exported by English owners, and also caravans in New Zealand, the USA, Canada, Sweden, Belgium and Holland.”

Until the pandemic struck there were regular classic caravan shows around the country, and also mainland Europe, with Safari caravans featuring prominently.

Brian’s Facebook group provides advice and support for owners, as well as a wealth of historical information about Safari, and the number still used and loved by their owners is testament to the quality of the caravans, the youngest of which is fast approaching middle age.
