VISTA WATCHING THE TRAILER For generations of travellers, explorers and those seeking a life far away from the norm, the classic Airstream ‘silver bullet’ travel trailer has been synonymous with the freedom of the open road. But if the traditional multiaxle Airstream seems daunting, help has been towed into view. The company has relaunched its Bambi model as a separate ‘diffusion line’ of compact, easy-to-tow trailers for the modern adventurer. The Bambi earned its cute name while on the celebrated 1959 Cape Town to Cairo caravan trip led by Airstream founder Wally Byam. While it may lack the larger dimensions of its super-siblings, it packs just as much ‘cool’ factor. Considerably more manageable – especially for those new to towing – than the ten-metre-long Classic Airstream trailer, the delightfully retro single-axle Bambi models are light, nimble and available in a choice of four layouts ranging IURPƓYHWRQHDUO\VHYHQPHWUHV(DFKRQHVOHHSVIRXU and comes with a dedicated sleeping space, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom. The Bambi may be small, but it’s perfect for big adventures. airstream.com The lightweight Bambi is the new baby of the Airstream range The Bambi: micro luxury on the move Winter activities at Whitepod include guided hiking and paragliding 23
