SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO GET TO NSELE LODGE:

  • From Pretoria (Tswane) or Johannesburg take the N4 to Witbank/Middelburg/Belfast and to Nelspruit
  • You will encounter a few toll roads where you have to pay a specified amount. 
  • Leave the N4 at Belfast and take the R540 to Dullstroom then Lydenburg;
  • Take the R36 to Origstad through the mountain pass and the tunnel (J.G. Strijdom tunnel) and carry on the road that has become the R527 towards Hoedspruit (Maruleng)
  • At the Kamai Reptile Park turn Right onto the R531 towards Kampersrus/Aventura Swadini/Klaserie/Orpen
  • Should you need to fill up with fuel this is a good place to do so at the Klaserie 1 Stop, and to refresh a bit – from here the trip will take you about 45minutes to Nsele.
  • Turn Left on the R40 to Hoedspruit and drive approx. 800m and turn Right onto the Guernsey Road; pass the first control gate – no money to be paid, but you have to fill in your details in a book.
  • Follow the road, the road becomes a gravel (sand) road; a safe speed on dirt road is about 60km/h  – depends on your level of driving skills where you feel comfortable on foreign roads
