If you're driving to Lammergeier Cave from Sani Pass, start by heading south on the Sani Pass road (R56). After approximately 5 kilometers, look for signs indicating the turnoff for Lammergeier Cave. The road will turn into a gravel path; ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain. Continue along this path for about 2 kilometers, where you will find a small parking area. From the parking area, follow the marked hiking trail leading to the cave entrance, which is approximately a 15-minute walk.

Public Transportation & Hiking
If you are using public transportation, you might need to take a bus or shuttle service to Sani Pass from nearby towns like Underberg. Once you arrive in Sani Pass, you will need to arrange for a local guide or tour operator who can facilitate transport to Lammergeier Cave via a 4x4 vehicle, as the terrain is rough. Be prepared for additional costs ranging from R300 to R500 for the transport and guide services. After reaching the cave vicinity, follow the same hiking trail as mentioned earlier to reach the cave entrance.

Guided Tour
Consider joining a guided tour that includes transportation to Lammergeier Cave.

The tour will typically take you directly to the parking area near the cave, and from there, a short hike will lead you to the cave entrance.
