Discover the Untamed Beauty of Lapalala Wilderness East Gate

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from central Waterberg, head south on the R517 road towards Marken. After approximately 30 kilometers, continue on the R518 road for about 25 kilometers. You will see signs for Lapalala Wilderness East Gate on your left. The entrance is well-marked and accessible, and you may need to pay an entrance fee, so keep some cash or a card handy for this. The drive should take roughly 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic.

• Public Transportation

  From central Waterberg, take a bus or shuttle service towards Marken. Ensure that the service you choose stops at or near the R518 junction. Once you reach Marken, you may need to arrange for a taxi or ride-sharing service to take you the final 25 kilometers to Lapalala Wilderness East Gate, as public transport may not cover this last stretch. Be prepared for potential costs associated with the taxi ride, which can vary, so ask for a fare estimate before starting your journey.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer not to drive, you can book a taxi or use a ride-sharing app directly from your location in Waterberg to the Lapalala Wilderness East Gate. Make sure to provide the driver with the exact address: R518 (25 km south from Marken, Marken, 0605). This option is convenient but can be more costly, depending on the distance and traffic. Expect the fare to be higher if you are traveling during peak hours.
