Car
From Lubombo, head southwest on the MR3 road. Continue for about 30 kilometers until you reach the town of Phuzumoya. Once in Phuzumoya, follow the signs toward Mkhaya Game Reserve, which is located just off the MR3. The reserve entrance is well marked. Please note that there may be an entry fee to the reserve, which you should check in advance.
Public Transportation (Taxi or Minibus)
Travelers can catch a minibus or shared taxi from Lubombo to Phuzumoya. Minibus taxis frequently depart from designated taxi ranks. Ensure you inform the driver that you are heading to Mkhaya Game Reserve. The fare is typically around E30-50 (approximately $2-4) per person, but confirm the price before boarding. Once you arrive in Phuzumoya, you may need to hire a local taxi to take you to the reserve entrance, which should cost around E50-100.
Walking
If you're already in Phuzumoya and prefer to walk, the reserve is approximately 3 kilometers from the town center. Head south on the main road (MR3) and look for signs directing you to the reserve. Be mindful of the traffic and ensure you have comfortable walking shoes, as the road may not have pedestrian pathways.
