Discover the Beauty of Van Stadens Wild Flower Reserve

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start on the N2 highway. Head towards Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth). Take the exit toward the R335 (towards the Addo National Park) and merge onto the R335. Continue on the R335 until you reach the intersection with the N2. Turn left onto the N2, then take the exit for Cape Road (R102) towards Gqeberha. Follow Cape Road for several kilometers until you see signs for Van Stadens Wild Flower Reserve. There is a small entrance fee to enter the reserve, typically around R10 per vehicle.

• Public Transport

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from Gqeberha city center to the nearest point along the R102. Look for buses that head towards the Addo area, as they often stop near the reserve. Once you arrive at the drop-off point, you will need to take a taxi or walk the remaining distance to the reserve entrance, which is approximately 5 kilometers away. Be sure to confirm bus schedules in advance, as they may vary throughout the week.

• Taxi

  For those who prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Gqeberha to Van Stadens Wild Flower Reserve. This option will provide you with a door-to-door service. Be prepared to negotiate the fare with the driver, and note that it may cost between R150 to R300 depending on your starting point in Gqeberha and the time of day.
