Our Story
We relocated with our family from our home in Johannesburg, South Africa to the United States in 2015. From our start in Chicago, IL and ultimate arrival in Houston, TX in 2020, it has been a dream of ours to be able to share some of the gems of the African continent with our new fellow countrymen.
To this day, we still own “a piece of Africa” as we acquired our first 43” fire pit from Keith Hamilton however, it never made it across the Atlantic. This fire-pit has brought many hours of fond memories with family and friends and is affectionately named the “problem solver”. Many glasses of good South African wine and old and new problems have been settled around the dancing flames of this African boma. On purchasing our new home in Texas, we hoped to recreate the same atmosphere in our yard but could not find a fire-pit that was equal to the one in Africa.
Having built a well-established network of suppliers, manufacturers and global supply chain specialists over the years, we set to seek out and bring not only the fire pit but more of the best of Africa to the USA. With the help of two Texan friends, Jim and Kade, we imported a container of fire-pits and the journey began.
Now it is possible for you to “own a piece of Africa”. The products available are all true to the continent, the sense of adventure and the bonds of family and friends. We hope you will enjoy the products we have selected as much as we are excited to bring them to you.
