The nearest town which has a full range of services is Hluhluwe which is 80 kms away.

How to get there:
The tar road from Hluhluwe to Mbazwane town is now complete.
Upon arrival at Mbazwane follow the signs, turning right through town and right again at the T-junction from there it is another 13km of tar to the main gate of Sodwana Bay National Park. We recommend this route to all our visitors, as it is the safest and even slightly quicker when coming from the north.

Pets are not permitted into the reserve.
