About Gugulisizwe
A joint venture between Bustard Tourism enterprises and the KwaMpukane community. Gugulesizwe, meaning “Pride of the Nation”, is rustic self-catering accommodation in the tropical dune fields of Maputaland.
Atop a grassy dune in the Maputaland coastline sits the rustic and enchanting camp called Gugulesizwe, “the pride of the nation”. Housing a maximum of 24 people, escaping the stress and anxiety of the city is easy. Relax on the cow-strewn, empty beaches of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (a world heritage site), dive in the unexplored waters with the exclusive nearby Dive Centre; walk in the forest and search for rare, tropical birds such as the Buff-spotted Flufftail, or the Narina Trogon; and take time to indulge in the casual atmosphere at our privileged paradise.
Gugulesizwe is an eco-tourism venture between the KwaMpukane community. The long-term goal of the camp is to develop an ecological and cultural knowledge exchange, where university students can come to learn. This truly is a joint venture and we are proud and privileged to be part of such a project.
