From Johannesburg and Pretoria:
Take the N12 from Johannesburg and the N4 from Pretoria, past Witbank and Middelburg to Belfast. Turn onto the R540 to Dullstroom and Lydenburg.

The tar changes to a gravel road and splits – keep right. Go through the boom gate and follow the road for approximately 6 kms. The road then splits again – keep left, travel about 1 km going down the dip and halfway up the hill. On the right hand side you will find the entrance for the lodge and a sign saying Kimba Lodge and Blyde River Wilderness Lodge - turn right here. The gate is either manned or left unlocked. Follow the signs to the lodge. Please be advised that there are wild animals so please drive slowly.
