Upendi and Sedgefield
Saturday, February 18th, 2006Well after Wildside, cute surfers and Buffalo Bay am now in a small town by the name of Sedgefield.
Sedgefield has sprouted along the N2 main highway that runs along the coastline. And in this tiny little place there is a wonderful new hostel called Upendi Backpackers. Upendi, meaning love in Swahili, is a double story thatch house about a 1min walk from the lagoon.
Upendi Backpackers: 8.5/10 Comfortable, clean, friendly. Close to the lagoon where you can go canoeing and search for the rare knysna sea horse. Or you can go to one of four beaches and surf, swim and tan. For the adventurers you can ask Sancheo, the owner, to organise a tandem paragliding flight or heck…. why not take a full course and get your pilots license. Sancheo will also teach you to POI….. or fire dance. I was playing with fire on the 2nd night of my study and haven’t burnt anything yet… so she must be a good teacher.
