While on a horse safari at Babanango Game Reserve last month, we stopped off for coffee along the White Umfolozi River. This mighty waterway runs through the reserve and at several spots, and depending on the season and flow of the river, creates beaches. A quick-sticks fire in the appropriate spot, a kettle on its flames and the most perfect cup of coffee ever, was soon brewed.
Coffee on a beach in Zululand, over 2-hours drive from the Indian Ocean, who would have thought!
