Overlooking ivory sands and backed by green hills that swoop down to a sparkling sea, Bulungula offers intrepid travellers the opportunity to experience a slice of African paradise.
The opportunity is also a challenge - to escape preconceptions and open your eyes, mind and soul. It’s an invitation too - to experience a vibrant Xhosa community (who own 40% of the lodge) on their own terms and to share their life.
This jewel of a village, cut off from the outside world by forests, rivers and the ocean was only accessible to 4x4s and intrepid hikers but now has a road accessible to all.
Take a beach horse ride to the beautiful Xhora River where you can canoe upstream to the forested cliffs. Or jump onto a tube with a cold beer and let a river of kamikaze jumping fish float you home through a lush kingfisher-bright forest. As the sun sets, stroll to the mud-hut shebeen* to share a pot of Jabulani (happiness) beer.
