Ubunye
While 'Little Gugs' served us well, highlighting our connection to the beloved Gugs, we've evolved to stand out as a unique destination. Thus, we introduce 'Ubunye' (Unity), a name that truly reflects our essence of communal harmony and connection amidst the stunning Maputaland coastline. 'Ubunye' is not just our new name; it’s our commitment to fostering a space that stands for togetherness and community.

The New look
We've transformed our camp into a contemporary beach lodge, enhancing the ambiance with modern pink and white subway tiles and an open-plan kitchen for dynamic dining. Upgrades include storm blinds for brighter interiors, spacious rooms for added comfort, and private, stylish outdoor showers. The new sunset lounge offers a serene spot to enjoy breathtaking views over the Lebombo mountains.
