This weekend marks the return of SA Campfest, the biggest Volkswagen car show in Africa.
Enthusiasts will travel to Warmbaths, in Bela-Bela, as they unite in their passion for their beloved VWs.
We met up with Jamie Orr, who travelled all the way from Pottstown, in Pennsylvania, to judge the biggest VW show in Africa.
Orr says that he has fallen in love with South African culture, from the cars to the people and food.
Why is SA Campfest so popular?
Every South African has a Volkswagen story, even if they don’t own one, they have been in one, and they have a memory about it.
The aftermarket car show has become one of the biggest events on the calendar.
SA Campfest organisers, Cum Laude events, have tapped into the local car scene, attracting patrons from across Southern Africa.
The love for VW is universal, uniting people through their shared love of the brand.
For content creators, SA Campfest is a must-attend event if you want to be relevant in the car scene.
There is a huge interest in the event, and those who can’t attend rely on social media to stay up to date on the trends.
SA Campfest takes place from 6-8 February 2026.
