WHY ALL THE FUSS ABOUT STORIES?

Think back in time.

Imagine cave-dwellers after a hard day’s hunting or gathering ... sitting around an open fire ... telling stories to the rhythm of the dancing flames ... listening at the fringe of flame-fall ... shooting stars punctuating the night ... southern cross illuminating all.

None of this unduly stretches the South African imagination. Our strong culture of braaiing over red-hot coals is no stranger to bushveld, night skies, or the storyteller’s art. Fireside stories are both ancient and modern: our tradition, our birthright, our way.

At Cape Rebel we love nothing better than to sprawl round a comforting fire listening to a good story under a magnificent starry sky.

We hope our featured stories will inspire you to get out under the stars, share your stories by firelight, and listen to the answering sounds of Africa.
