Meet Ayafika, aka Walaza 🎤✨

Coffee Bay’s very own local superstar. You hear him before you see him, always singing, always lost in his music.

But interrupt his set for a tweezer for 20 rand... and he just keeps going. 😂🎶

Jonga, Jongaaa 🔥
(DJONG-a, isiXhosa for “look”, “watch”, “see”)

And honestly? We can’t stop watching either. 👁️

Ayafika is more than a face in Coffee Bay, he is Coffee Bay. Music in his heart, a mushroom in his pocket 🍄, and always on the hunt for his next piece of chicken. 🍗

If you run into him, say hi. Or better yet, just sing along.

Spend the day exploring the Mapuzi Cliffs and Caves with us! 🌵✨

If you like a bit of adventure, this is the hike for you. We are spending the day exploring the beautiful Wild Coast, checking out caverns, bat caves, and secret pools.

Feeling brave? Take the leap and do a cliff jump right into the ocean! 🌊

We end the day with a well deserved base camp lunch of traditional braaibroodjies and a swim in the Mapuzi River.

Don't miss out. You can book this hike at the Shack ✨
