Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the town of Phalaborwa, head southeast on the R71 road. Continue straight for about 20 km until you reach the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve entrance. Look for signs for Grietjie Private Nature Reserve as you approach. Once inside, follow the signs to 39 Scorpion Rd. The Antares Bush Camp & Umgede Hide is located within the reserve, so ensure you have paid the entrance fee, which may vary (typically around R100 per vehicle). Upon reaching Scorpion Rd, follow it until you reach your destination.

• Public Transport

  For those relying on public transport, take a taxi or shuttle from Phalaborwa to the entrance of Grietjie Private Nature Reserve. Ensure you negotiate the fare in advance, as prices can vary. Once at the entrance, you will need to arrange for a local taxi or a pre-booked shuttle service to take you to Antares Bush Camp & Umgede Hide, located at 39 Scorpion Rd within the reserve. Be sure to confirm with your transport provider regarding the costs, which can range from R200 to R500 depending on the distance and time of day.

• Ride-Sharing

  Alternatively, consider using a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Bolt if available in the area. Request a ride from your current location in Lowveld to the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve entrance. Once there, you’ll need to pay the entrance fee before proceeding to 39 Scorpion Rd. The ride-share cost may vary, but typically expect to pay around R150 to R300 depending on your starting point.
