NEW IN!

Inspired by the bold spirit and beauty of Africa’s most elusive wild dog, this collection is a celebration of life in the bushveld. The Painted Dog candle features a refreshing, energising blend of rosemary, sweet orange, lemon, and peppermint — evoking the crisp morning air, sun-drenched grasses, and earthy freshness of the African wild.

Each candle is hand-poured in our bushveld studio, using natural waxes and pure essential oils — continuing our commitment to craftsmanship and authenticity.

Welcome to Slowveld

Where the enchanting essence of the African bushveld comes to life in every handcrafted soy candle. Nestled in the heart of the untamed wilderness of the Kruger National Park, we draw inspiration from the magic moments experienced on safari to create candles that ignite the senses and evoke cherished memories.

Each candle is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, capturing the essence of the African bushveld in every detail. From the gentle rustle of marula trees to the fiery hues of a breathtaking sunset, our candles encapsulate the beauty and wonder of safari life.

Infused with premium soy wax and thoughtfully selected fragrances, our candles transport you to the heart of the African wilderness with every flicker and crackle of the flame. Whether it's the earthy aroma of fresh rain on dry earth, the sweet scent of wildflowers dancing in the breeze, or the comforting warmth of a crackling campfire, each fragrance is a testament to the diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity of Africa.

But it's not just about scent – our candles are also a visual delight. Handcrafted with care, each candle resembles a work of art and a celebration of the beauty and wonder of the bushveld.

Testimonials

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Slowveld Candles. They were among our very first suppliers, and it’s been wonderful getting to know Jess and the brand over the years. Slowveld aligns perfectly with our values and passion for the bush, making their products some of our top sellers. We truly appreciate Jess’s remarkable talent for crafting beautiful scents that resonate with our customers. We often hear, “Your shop smells so lovely,” as customers step inside. Working with you has been such a pleasure, and we’re so excited to see how the brand evolves in the years ahead.

A collaboration that not only celebrates artistic magic but also supports local talent and empowers community artisans by showcasing their skill and creativity to a wider audience.

S L O W V E L D x SIMBI

This festive season, SLOWVELD is proud to introduce a truly special collaboration with renowned ceramic artisan, Simbi, whose studio is nestled in the heart of Hoedspruit. Known for his ability to bring clay to life through soulful craftsmanship, Simbi creates one-of-a-kind ceramic masterpieces — each shaped by hand, inspired by the wild beauty that surrounds him.

This collaboration not only celebrates artistic excellence but also supports local talent and empowers community artisans by showcasing their skill and creativity to a wider audience.

Together, we’ve combined Simbi’s art with Slowveld’s signature bushveld-inspired scents to create a limited edition range of candles that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. Each candle is hand-poured into a ceramic bowl glazed in elegant ivory or black, and topped with a wildlife-inspired lid — a nod to the creatures that define the spirit of the African bush.

Inside, a natural wood wick and our eco-friendly, non-toxic soy wax create a warm, crackling glow — a sensory journey through scent, texture, and sound. Every candle tells a story of craftsmanship, collaboration, and community, designed to be cherished long after the last flame has flickered out.

A unique keepsake, a thoughtful gift, and a true piece of the bushveld, each candle in this collection captures the soul of our landscape — wild, grounding, and deeply beautiful.
