- Jolling
Jolling is a wonderful Afrikaans word for PARTYwhy-because-you-canING. And there’s lots of it in Southern Africa because the people are friendly , the beer is cheap and the nightlife whatever you want it to be. This icon tells you when to put on your dancing shoes.

This is the oldest lodge in Observatory and is the play ground of students....put your party shoes on!
Featured in every edition of Coast to Coast, the 15 year-old Green Elephant backpackers is a champion recycler, environmentalist and king of this urban jungle.
Situated in the vibrant student suburb of Obs, the Green Ele is wired to the planet with a wi-fi network, Skype, an on-line events calendar, on-line tour bookings and a pre-arrival check in. Meet the Rainbow Nation in action while you play… er, stay. All the staff are an inspiring example of the real and diverse potential of South Africa (‘specially the fun bits.) So catch some local culture, join a Table Mountain expedition, bag the jacuzzi, go jolling or fire up a braai*.
They are sports and culture fans and take guests to township braais at Mzoli’s and live sports events. They’re warming up for the Super 14, the Lions Tour, the Concacaf Cup and FIFA 2010 (yippee!). Gotta go? The crew are full of useful travel tips. Get them to point you in the right direction, book your tickets and send you roaring down the road.
They store and recycle grey water, swimming pool water and rainwater and use solar heating. Yay!
