About Qumbu

Qumbu lies in the old Transkei hills, off the R61 between Mthatha and Kokstad, via Tsolo or Mount Frere. Locals nip through to Tsolo, Mount Frere, or Madadeni for daily errands, while longer hauls to places like Fort Beaufort or Illovo Beach show it doubles as a stopover for cross-country trips. Mthatha, with its K.D. Matanzima Airport 76 km out, is your nearest big town for fuel and flights. EV charging is thin on the ground here, so charge up before you leave Mthatha.
