No 4x4 is needed to drive on our roads, however we would discourage the use of low profile cars. Road transfers can be arranged from all airports as well as inter-lodge transfers. The closest commercial airport is Richards bay (200km) and the closest international airport is King Shaka in Durban (350km). How to get there by air: Spend more time on safari and less time travelling by flying to White Elephant. Chartered flights can be arranged and land either on our airstrip or the Mkuze airstrip. Fly-in Guests will be picked up at the airstrip and transferred to the lodge. You are also welcome to fly in with your own plane. Please note a landing fee will be applicable. Kindly contact reservations for more information and indemnity form. *Gate Entrance Fee is R100 per vehicle, payable in CASH at the gate. *VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE NOTE: The Game Reserve gate closes STRICTLY at 18h00 (for YOUR safety as well as the safety of our staff and wild animals). NO entry what-so-ever is permitted after 18.00. *Plan carefully to ensure that you arrive at the gate BEFORE 18h00 (factor in extra time for heavy traffic, potholed roads, accidents, and any other unforeseen delays) White Elephant Self
