Join us for an evening of camp fire stories as told by Rob Caskie.
Campfires are always associated with storytelling, especially in Africa.
In the tradition of raconteurs of old, Rob loves the freedom to ease f rom one story to another in this format. Be it Charles Guy Gordon besieged by the mighty Mahdi in Khartoum, or brave Black South Africans going down i n the English Channel with SS Mendi.
What about young George Buntting being accompanied by a Zulu chaperone for a 120 mile horse ride to catch t he train to school, being told stories about the Anglo-Zulu War and becomin g perhaps the greatest White authority on that war.
Many young South Africans grow up with the story of Harry Wolhuter’s famous escape from the jaws of a lion by stabbing it to death with a knife.
Deep within us a ll lies an innate desire to be carried along by a story developed within th e theatres of our imaginations. This continent provides a canvas for the ri chest of stories, well worth sharing.
