Bulungula refers to a magical hidden gem located at the mouth of the Bulungula river next to the Indian Ocean at the heart of the Transkei Wild Coast. It is a lodge which is incredibly remote, but at the same time entirely part of the serene Ngileni village. This local community has created a wonderful lodge to accommodate tourists in traditional Xhosa huts right next to their own settlements. The Bulungula lodge is 100% owned and run by the Bulungula community members. The Bulungula community affectionally refers to their lodge as a ‘place in paradise’ and I could only fully agree with this. So if you are looking for an authentic place and way to experience daily Xhosa life and culture you are at the absolute right spot.

Or, are you a wilderness lover who wants to be submerged in the outback of Kruger Park for 5 days without dealing with the queues of cars? Then the Lebombo 4x4 Eco-Trail is your ultimate next journey! It's considered the best 4x4 eco-trail in Southern Africa. The trail consists of a total of 500km covered in 5 days of driving (we drove 630km in total - it depends on your guide), whereby you drive mainly on 'no entry' roads. You are accompanied by an experienced senior ranger, who will share plenty of his knowledge about animals, birds, plants, ecosystems and history of the Kruger National Park. The trail starts at Crocodile Bridge (Krokodillenburg) in the South of Kruger. After 5 days, you will finish up North at Crooks' Corner in Pafuri. The Lebombo 4x4 trail is absolutely the best trail in the Kruger National Park! You can book a ticket via SANparks website. Often it's fully booked 1 year in advance..In this blog, we share our experiences of the Lebombo trail, including tips and tricks for those planning to drive the trail.
