Call it what you want. Bucking the system, taking the road less traveled, defying conventional wisdom! Maybe you are standing at that crossroads where I found myself in 2011. Having followed my family's footsteps into a law practice and politics, for over a decade I fit squarely in the same box most anyone could have predicted I’d be in. But I was beginning to feel worn thin. At 37 years old, I started to realize that the daily grind of corporate life that was great for so many, just wasn’t for me. Determined to break out of the grind, I bought myself a BMW GS Adventure and headed out alone, across the country. It didn’t take long for me to decide to never look back. I met some incredible people throughout the US and Canada, and most importantly my future wife, Roos. Roos took me to her home in South Africa, a magical place at the tip of the great African continent where the Atlantic and Indian oceans collide. We soon married in the winelands of Roos’ family farm, and set out in our Land Rover Defender for our honeymoon. For weeks we traveled through Namibia, Botswana and into the famed Kruger National Park of South Africa. There was no freedom I’d ever felt like cooking over an open flame in the wilds of Africa and sleeping on the roof of my Land Rover Defender.The African Overland Experience moved my spirit and it was there under the Southern Cross, that I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wanted to bring a sense of culture, adventure, and freedom into the lives of others.I have spent the last year developing a business and a product that can forever change how you spend time with family and friends. The KUDU Safari Braai and Classic Overland are made for people who believe they work too hard not to enjoy themselves during their coveted time away from work. We are driven to maximize that experience for our consumers and clients.

What is a “KUDU Grill”?The KUDU Grill is a unique, innovative outdoor cooking system consisting of a multifunctional grill, griddle, and fire pit combined. It was designed to create an interactive, lively, and creative grilling experience for both the people doing the cooking and the people being fed.The KUDU Grill is an extremely versatile grilling system that allows anyone to cook pretty much anything they can think of. Using a patented elevated grate system over an open fire, the KUDU grills, sautés, sears, fries, boils, smokes, and steams – and often will do these things simultaneously. No other product allows you to steam oysters while slow-cooking a Boston Butt, or grill blackened grouper while frying shrimp, or sear a ribeye on a Himalayan salt block while sautéing vegetables on a cast-iron skillet. And this is all done over an open fire! Pretty cool, don’t you think?.The KUDU Open Fire Grill has its origins in South Africa, where early humans gathered in caves over a million years ago to cook meat over fire for the very first time.Quite a few years after that, Georgia boy Stebin Horne traveled there to meet the family of the woman he’d fallen in love with, and found himself loving the South African culture and traditions as well. The communal homemade braais where friends & family gathered around an open flame to cook, eat, and socialize in an unhurried way gave inspiration for the KUDU.https://kudugrills.com/
