After crossing the Limpopo River via vehicle or cable car (depending on the water level), a Mashatu guide will meet you and drive you to the lodge. Cable car transfers are included in the cost of your stay. Note that the road leading to the reserve may be unpaved, so ensure your vehicle is suitable for off-road conditions.
