We recommend taking the N12 to Witbank, then the N4 to Belfast. From Belfast take the R540 to Dullstroom, then from here, the R540 to Lydenburg.

Tshukudu is situated 5 minutes on the right-hand side. It has a thatched entranceway and is signposted.

Take the R40 to Mica, and then follow the R40 southbound. Tshukudu is situated +/-20 km after Mica on the left and 5 km before Hoedspruit.
