Directions

Hluhluwe N2 (recommended)
From the N2 you will take the Hluhluwe off-ramp and head towards Hluhluwe. At the fourth traffic circle you will turn immediately to the left. Once out of town you will find a tar road that crosses a railway line. It is marked Sodwana Bay 91km, you turn right. Please drive careful along this road as we live in Zululand and the cattle are free roaming so they are often in the road and cause accidents especially at night. The next town you get to will be Mbazwana. At the Engen filling station You will turn right. This is our shopping town with Spar on your left and Jock Morison or OK on your right. At the stop you turn right again. From there you will drive for 7 km. Our sign is on the left side but you will turn to the right. We are 300m from the main road and the third gate on the left.

There is also another route that is shorter if you are coming from the north or Gauteng. It passes through the town of Jossini and is quite scenic but the road is not good for normal cars. Off the N2 you will take the Jossini turn-off about 50km from Pongola. Just out of Jossini you will find a T junction to your left. If you carry on strait you will cross the Jossini Dam wall and might be worth a look as it is quite scenic. You however have to turn left at the T junction. From there it is 51km to Mbazwana. At the second T junction you turn left and then right at the Y intersection. You will end up at the Engen filling station.

Once at our gate please call Slade on: 0824445841
