After approximately 25 kilometers, look for the sign indicating the turnoff to Kilimandege. Turn left onto a smaller road and follow the signs for Kilimandege. The journey should take around 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on traffic. Make sure your vehicle has a good GPS or map application as some smaller roads may not be well-marked.
