Jabu was the Zhosa local who lead us on our village visit. Locals are self sufficient, work at Bulungula Lodge, or in mines. One person from family works outside home. Jabu husband is late- she & her 2 children live with her parents, sister & brother. no cars. Walk everywhere. Goats, sheep, chickens, cattle omnipresent. The photos with locals were enjoyed with a beer they had made. Very friendly. Locals- loved seeing their photos on our phone & I sent them to lodge & they were thrilled. We did see a few kids with an iPhone. Mainly no electricity. Our lodge was solar powered & we used a rocket shower- hot water.

Friendly English speaking local

Before arriving at Bulungula had read about a sunrise walk & pancakes on the beach. We teased about it for days. Starting at 5:15 our chefs met us & we walked the beach – they carried everything for brekkie. Wood, cast iron pans, coffee water. Serene. Stunning. We loved it. Crepe pancakes – fabulous!
