🧊 Handmade fibreglass. Keeps ice for days. Built for SA conditions.

SA's Favourite Cooler. Built to Last.

The Safari Chiller 60L Fibreglass Cooler Box is South Africa's most trusted handmade cooler — built right here in KZN at Thornville since 1990. The 60L is the most popular big-box size in the range. It's deep enough to hold 2-litre bottles and wine bottles upright — something the 45L cannot do. Hunters, anglers, campers, and overlanders across SA rely on the Safari Chiller to keep food and bait cold for days. Order yours online at builditshop.co.za!

What It Does

• Keeps ice for days thanks to the high-density polyurethane foam core and tight EVA lid seal.
• Holds 2-litre cool drink bottles and wine bottles upright — making it the go-to size for braais and bush trips.
• Stores bait, meat, fish, and perishables in perfect condition on long SA hunting and fishing trips.
• Carries comfortably with two stainless steel foldaway handles wrapped in EVA foam grip.
• Withstands the abuse of bakkies, boats, and bush camps that would crack a plastic cooler.

Key Features

• Handmade Fibreglass Shell: Moulded and polished by hand at the Safari Chiller factory in Thornville, KZN — every box is individually inspected before dispatch.
• High-Density Polyurethane Foam Core: Superior insulation keeps contents cold for days — not just hours.
• Foam-Filled Fibreglass Lid: The 60L lid is foam-filled — not hollow plastic — for maximum cold retention.
• EVA Foam Lid Seal: Creates an airtight seal around the entire lid to lock cold air in and keep warm air out.
• Two Stainless Steel Hinges: Rust-proof and built to last on boats, bakkies, and in saltwater environments.
• Stainless Steel Clips and Latches: Secure the lid firmly — won't pop open on rough dirt roads.
• Two Stainless Steel Foldaway Handles: Wrapped in EVA foam for comfortable carrying even when fully loaded.
• Deep 60L Capacity: Extra depth fits 2-litre cool drink and wine bottles standing upright — the 45L cannot do this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy the Safari Chiller 60L in South Africa?

What is the price of the Safari Chiller 60L?
The Safari Chiller 60L is priced at R3,439.90 at Build It Hillcrest. Free delivery on orders over R950.

How long does the Safari Chiller 60L keep ice?
In SA conditions, well-packed with pre-chilled ice, you can expect ice to last 2–4 days — significantly longer than standard plastic cooler boxes.

Will 2-litre bottles fit upright in the 60L?
Yes! The 60L is designed with extra depth specifically to accommodate 2-litre cool drink bottles and wine bottles standing upright — the key advantage over the 45L model.

Is the Safari Chiller made in South Africa?
Yes! Every Safari Chiller is handmade at the factory in Thornville, KZN — a proudly SA product made locally since 1990.

Why is fibreglass better than plastic for a cooler box?
Fibreglass is tougher, more rigid, and insulates better than injection-moulded plastic. It won't crack or warp in SA heat, and the polyurethane foam core provides superior cold retention.

Does Build It Hillcrest deliver to Johannesburg or Cape Town?
Yes! Nationwide delivery via BobGo. Delivery takes 2–5 business days to most major SA centres.
