Zulazula (Xhosa:to explore; to roam) is a family-run business based in Cape Town, South Africa. It was born out of a passion for exploring the far reaches of Southern Africa and the limitations of a 9-5 job. How can we create the time needed for big overland trips without sacrificing our careers? We take our office on the road.

We’ve climbed mountains for a bar of signal, traded fuel for wifi, and said too many times, “Sorry, my internet cut out” as yet another meeting was interrupted by dodgy signal or 3-day campsite power failure.

Zulazula is our answer to the challenges of truly remote working.
