Adventure has always been at the heart of Airstreaming. In 1959, founder Wally Byam led a Caravan of 41 Airstream families across Africa, traveling from Cape Town to Cairo. That legendary journey helped shape the brand into what it is today, and more than six decades later, exploration and adventure remain at the core of Airstream’s values.
