If you're traveling by car from the town of Paramaribo, head south on the A1 highway towards the Sipaliwini District. The journey will take approximately 4-5 hours depending on road conditions. Once you reach the Sipaliwini District, continue driving towards the village of Kwamalasamutu. From Kwamalasamutu, you will need to take a local road that leads toward the Tafelberg area. Keep an eye out for road signs, as this is a less traveled path and may not be well marked. The last stretch may require a 4x4 vehicle due to uneven terrain. Make sure to have a reliable map or GPS, as mobile signal may be limited.
