BULLS INN FISHING LODGE

Welcome to Bull’s Inn Fishing Lodge.

Deep within the Eastern Cape Coastal Homeland, nestled in the foothills of what was formally known as the Transkei Wild Coast, lies a small coastal village called Mpame.

Here you find Bull’s Inn Fishing Lodge a dot on the map, but big on fishing. Based on a home from home atmosphere, which makes for a unique expereance and a far cry from your day to day city life. This seperates it from the rest. Accompanied by remote and tranqual rural setting where live stock and an ancient people live.

The access roads are your typical ‘African’ roads and when travelled makes for an experience of its own. A 4 x 4 is suggested, although standard vechiles have made the trip!! The nearest ‘shopping mall’ is in Umtata which is +/- 120 km away….

So pack up your bags and gear up for an unforgettable experience…

Activities
Please note that guests are required to provide their own gear for these activities.

With virgin reef abounding in the surrounding ocean Bull’s Inn is becoming an increasingly popular scuba diving destination. Dives are charged at R150 per person with scuba tank refills charged at R20 each.

With Mpame Beach directly in front of the Lodge perfectly safe for swimming and surfing. Delightful gullies provide opportunity for endless hours of snorkeling, and fortunately, as the law prohibits the use of motor driven sports equipment on the river, the quiet sounds of nature remain blissfully uninterrupted.

The estuary and river are ideal for fishing, canoeing and paddling although the river does become inaccessible further up.

For the more energetic the nearby cliffs are ideal for abseiling enthusiasts, while the area lends itself to never-ending hiking and mountain biking opportunities.
