The Location
Mkuze Falls is strategically positioned on the Kruger Park-Swaziland-Durban (N2><R66) and Johannesburg-Richards Bay-Durban (N2><R66) routes. After leaving the R66 between Pongola and Nongoma (the Lodge is signposted from both directions), you travel a further 2 kilometres along dirt road when the sugarcane fields fade away and you arrive at the main entrance of the Reserve. From there, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the Lodge.
PLEASE NOTE :
MKUZE FALLS PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
and Mkuze Game Reserve are NOT the same reserves and should not
be confused with one another!
Distances by road are as follows:
Johannesburg in 5,5 hours (excl. road works)
Durban in 4,5 hours
Richard's Bay in 2,5 hours.
For those seeking a little adventure, there is the magnificent Maputaland coast to explore and fishing is available on Pongolapoort Dam. The Zululand Battlefields are in close proximity and there are many sites of historical importance to visit. The Reserve is located on land that once formed part of the 'Boer Republic', created when the pioneer leader, Piet Retief, bought the land from Dingaan, half- brother of the great Zulu King, Shaka.
