Our Story: Meet Kent & Susanne of Alpha Outdoors Camping Rentals
Hello! We’re Kent and Susanne, the South African-German duo behind Alpha Outdoors, Cape Town’s trusted camping gear rental company. Together with our two girls, we embrace the vibrant mix of city and outdoor life that Cape Town and its surroundings offer.
Our Roots and Passion for Adventure
Kent, a Cape Town native, is the creative mind behind Alpha Longboards, a local skateboard crafting company and skate store in the heart of the Cape Town City Center. Susanne is a passionate teacher and artist, pouring her creativity into her work whenever possible.
As a family, we cherish the unique duality of life in Cape Town: seamlessly shifting from the bustling city to the tranquility of the great outdoors. Living in this incredible region allows us to escape the city, recharge, and explore nature with minimal effort—a privilege we never take for granted.
Our Journey to Alpha Outdoors
Our youngest daughter, age 8, adores camping, and her enthusiasm sparked our love for weekend getaways under the stars. These trips showed us how camping offers simplicity, connection, and a chance to unwind.
Susanne, however, believes every camping trip should be both cozy and magical, which is why a hammock and fairy lights are always part of her essentials. This balance of practicality and charm inspired us to help others create their own unforgettable camping experiences.
Why We Started Alpha Outdoors
Working with an international client base, we noticed that many visitors to Cape Town struggle to find reliable camping gear. Solo travelers and groups alike need dependable, well-maintained equipment to fully enjoy South Africa’s breathtaking landscapes. That’s where Alpha Outdoors Camping Rentals comes in!
Our mission is to make camping in Cape Town easy, enjoyable, and memorable by offering high-quality gear and expert local advice.
