Ribeye “off the grid” African Bush Cooking Master Class
Another masterclass by our two good friends who have many years experience producing meals “off the grid” in the African Bush (Addo). This time it is cooking ribeye steak using a Cobb gas cooker. No coals to clean up. Instant heat. A mouth watering result!
Please scroll down. There are 7 pictures.
Thanks again to our two good and very “bush smart” friends.
The Flying Kudu in Addo
The Kudu prepares to jump and then jumps. See the two pictures below. Taken in the Addo Elephant Park. South Africa. Such power and grace.
Let the African Bush Trumpet with Joy
The African bush in the Addo Elephant Park in South Africa, suddenly became silent. It was the silence of expectation. It was the silence of respect. The elephant family was waiting, tenderly surrounding one of its female elephants. The gift of new life was coming. And then it happened. A baby elephant was born. Let all the African Bush trumpet with joy!
There are 2 pictures. Please scroll down. Thank you.
How privileged we humans are. We did not see the actual birth but we did see the family cherishing and protecting the new born. The first picture shows the family protecting the baby. But where is the baby elephant? Look to the right of the young elephant. The tiny elephant could not walk properly and was still pink in places.
The last picture is of the baby staying close to what can only be its mother.
Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have been close to such a joyful occasion in the glory of life,
To God be the Glory
Thanks to our two good friends who made this viewing possible.
