Walking
Start at the Malkerns Market, located in the center of Malkerns. Head south on the main road, following signs towards the Ezulwini Valley. After about 1.5 kilometers, you will reach a fork in the road. Take the left path that leads towards the hills, which is signposted for Nsangwini. Continue walking for approximately 2 kilometers, where you will cross a small stream. After crossing the stream, follow the trail that veers right, leading you up into the hills. As you ascend, ensure you keep an eye out for signs indicating the direction to Nsangwini Rock Art. The art is located approximately 1 kilometer up the hill from this point. The final approach may involve some mild rock scrambling, but you will see the rock art site ahead.
Cycling
Begin your journey at the Malkerns Market. Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops if you haven't already. Cycle south on the main road towards Ezulwini Valley. After 1.5 kilometers, you will encounter a fork in the road. Take the left path towards the hills, marked for Nsangwini. Continue cycling for another 2 kilometers until you reach a small stream.
