Eastern Cape: Bulungula Lodge is now 100% community-owned!
The famous Bulungula Lodge, situated in one of the most beautiful locations of any lodge in South Africa and one of the first lodges in the world to be Fair Trade accredited, is now 100% community-owned and run by the local Xhosa community of Nqileni village. The former owner, South African Dave Martin, has in the past few months handed over 100% ownership to them.
The Bulungula Lodge is located along the Eastern Cape's Wild Coast. If you are planning to drive there by car, Coffee Bay is about two-and-a-half hours away, East London about five hours, Durban just under nine hours and Port Elizabeth is nine hours away. Check the Bulungula's website for a printable map and very detailed directions - you'll need it! Bulungula Lodge also runs a shuttle that collects travellers from the Mthatha Shell Ultra City in Mthatha (Baz Bus, Translux and Greyhound bus stop) at 15:00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Video: A holiday trip along the Wild Coast (South Africa)
If you are currently planning to travel along the Wild Coast, the following video by Byron Wigmore gives you some great ideas how to spent your time there. Byron filmed the video with a GoPro Hero 3: silver editon. Kudos Byron!
The Wild Coast, which formed part of the Transkei until 1994, stretches from East London in the south to the border of KwaZulu-Natal in the north. Popular tourist towns and villages along the Wild Coast include Port St Johns, Coffee Bay, Hole in the Wall, Kei Mouth and Chintsa. During Apartheid, the Transkei was an independent homeland politically and economically independent of South Africa.

This one was made in Coffee Bay, a small community at the Wild Coast located about 250 kilometres south of Durban and home to one of South Africa's most famous backpackers: The Coffee Shack! Sit back, switch the video to full screen and enjoy. Kudos to Stu from The Going Homeless Project for the video!
