Uncle Andre grew up among the big red dunes of the Kalahari Desert. As a kid he played barefoot in the wilds, and that is where his big love for the many small people of the veld developed. He watched the wild animals, birds and crawlies as they lived, loved, worked and played. He tamed by bottle-feeding several animals, like Duiker, Steenbok, Baboons, as well as a handful of Doves, hornbills and other feathered folks.His family also raised two Lion cubs and several other kinds of big game by bottle-feeding. He took real pleasure in learning the wild folks’ habits and ways of life, as it was very educating and satisfying.Now he brings us some of his great love and knowledge for the outdoors to help us understand and live better with nature. It opens to us the love of God in everything He allows us to enjoy so liberally. Can you imagine the surprise when you realise how big the beak of a baby Hornbill open to swallow that big, juicy grasshopper? Or to teach the Baboon on his leash to overturn stones to find that fat Scorpion, or dig after soft bulbs in the deep Kalahari sand?Well, Uncle Andre did all that!
