Nokalodi is around 500km from both Johannesburg and Gaborone, with driving times around 5 and 6 hours respectively. The camp is around 3-4 hours from the northern gates of the Kruger National Park. Please double click on the Map for an enlarged version of same – thank you.

Driving from Johannesburg guests should follow the N1 to Polokwane then the R521 to Alldays.  At Alldays take a right tur signed to Pont Drift.

Nokalodi guests check in at Tuli Safari Lodge, approx 5km away and signed from the Botswana border post. They are then escorted to the camp by Tuli staff.

In the event of the Limpopo River being in flood, the river crossing is undertaken by cable car. The cable car is BWP35/R35 per person per one-way trip and it can carry 2-3 people with luggage per trip. Vehicles can be left at the border post. It is advisable to drive your car to the cable car departure point to unload luggage before finding a parking spot.

If guests wish to bring their vehicles into Botswana when the Limpopo River is flowing strongly, they can cross by a 3m wide

causeway at Platjan border post (open 06.00-18.00) which is approximately one hour’s drive from Nokalodi. Sometimes the river  cannot be crossed at Platjan, in which case the closest border crossing is at Martin’s Drift (approx three hour’s drive from Nokalodi).
