The War Store

Johannesburg sits at a crossroads for outdoor enthusiasts—close enough to hit the Drakensberg mountains for serious hiking weekends, positioned for game reserve visits into Limpopo and Mpumalanga, and surrounded by smaller reserves and hiking trails within an hour's drive. The War Store has built its inventory around this reality: gear suited to varying terrains and trip lengths that locals actually undertake. Tent quality matters here because the weather changes fast in the mountains; boot selection is serious because rocky terrain and altitude gain are non-negotiable; navigation tools are standard because cell signal doesn't always reach remote camps. The store reflects how this city's location shapes what outdoor activity looks like—not just casual day trips, but genuine expeditions that require proper equipment.
