I would definitely leave my car - any kind of car - at the Bulungula "store." It is safe, and you can either walk the rest of the way - 2-3 km - or the Lodge van will pick you up. Those last few kilometers will take you over a track, not really a road. I have a friend living at Bulungula now. Feel free to email him for the latest updates on getting there. charles@globalsouth.co.za You will love it. I wish I were going with you.

The roads are fine until about 2 bumpy, rough hours outside of the village. Then, you definitely need a 4x4 to avoid being stuck or doing damage to the underside of the car, though I heard about people taking their little rental cars there. If it rains, it´ll be muddy, and you'll be more likely to get stuck, or slide down a grassy hill (a few of which you will likely cross toward the end). At least it'll be an adventure, and one well worth it! I said it best in the post before this one. The roads are fine until about 2 bumpy, rough hours outside of the village.

I think it is a special place - hope it stays that way. Hey Gene, thanks for letting me know about the screen saver use! I think it is a special place – hope it stays that way.

I have several photos from that perspective, but yours is taken in the summer and all of mine in the winter. I lifted yours from the blog and am using it as a screen saver on my computer 10,000 miles from Bulungula. What a contrast - Bulungula to Bourdeaux in just a few weeks! I envy you.
