The road is mostly well-maintained, but be cautious of occasional potholes. Once you reach Kitholhu, look for signs directing you towards Kisanga and Kiraro. Continue driving until you reach the Mutseke Falls. There is limited parking available near the falls, so be prepared to walk a short distance to reach the viewing area.
