Three Lads & a Toucan Bush Coffee Ritual (with Amarula)

Morning Fuel, Bush-Style

Out here, coffee isn’t just caffeine it’s ceremony. Before sunrise, I boil the kettle, breathe in the mopani air, and Three Lads & a Toucan into the mug. Add a teaspoon of hot chocolate, a dash of Amarula, and you’ve got the ranger’s secret recipe. It’s strong enough to wake a giraffe and smooth enough to make you late for your own game drive. At Shingwedzi, I shared it with neighbours and strangers alike. No one ever said no. That’s the beauty of good coffee it turns a camp into a community gives it the vibe of popular watering hole.
