 Have you heard about our exciting new Patreon Page. Become a Patron? So the story goes like this, we have been visiting Sodwana a couple times a year for the last 2 years. We fell in love with the ocean, the gorgeous live stock that can roam free and the secluded, isolated, rural, rusticness and quietness of the whole place. In these last 2 years of wanting to move to the coast we have been watching a lot of traveler Vloggers and small townies that just make normal videos about their everyday lives down by the beach. This really inspired us to start saving and preparing to make that leap of faith. Most of our friends and family know how hard we have worked on our websites and in Pretoria to get where we are today, and we thank everybody who has helped us so far on our journey. We were blessed enough to be able to watch these travel vloggers, especially been able to spend the hours of data to watch each and every video and that’s how we were able to stumble upon Patreon. I haven’t done much research into it myself yet. But I know enough that we can add special and exclusive content on our account and people that are on there are willing to help sponsor and grow the people they subscribe to. So I am asking that you guys subscribe to our Patreon group, to find exclusive galleries, articles and videos that we will not be posting on Sodwana Bay Information. We will also be adding some exclusive products that will be up for grabs. Subscribe on Youtube? Become a Patron? Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel, follow our blogs and maybe even subscribe to our Patreon group to watch our journey grow into a super awesome and Exciting Adventure…


Going Old School @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Living off grid is amazing, especially when living out in the middle of nowhere. You never have to worry about paying electrical or water bills but you do have to settle for less luxuries. Also you learn to be more self reliant, as it is not always possible to go to the grocery store every time you forget something. I have been doing that a lot lately. Another thing we needed to get use to is our hot water system. I know what you thinking, how hard can hot water be to get in the house, why would we need to get use to that? Well our hot water system is a little different to what we city dwellers are use too! Well our house is a little different… We use a “Donkey” – our water heating system uses fire, yes you read right fire! Most people might not know this but before electrical and gas geysers were invented our ancestors used a type of chimney or drum water heating system. Basically its a little chimney attached to your house and hot water pipes like a fireplace to heat up your water. So, instead of waiting for your geyser to warm up you have to go make a fire outside and wait for it to warm your pipes and bob’s your uncle you have a nice warm shower. The first couple of days we were here was a nightmare, the water was freezing cause we couldn’t figure out how the hot water system worked around here. All we knew was we didn’t have a geyser. But that experience at the end of the day gave us so much more appreciation for the hot water that we can enjoy now. Don’t get me wrong we LOVE this new experience!
