 <\/p>\n

VIA MARTINS DRIFT BORDER POST<\/h6>\n

When travelling to Martin\u2019s Drift please ensure that you follow Google Maps to \u2018GROBLERSBRUG\u2018 Border and don\u2019t put in Martin\u2019s Drift as the GPS waypoint is INCORRECT.<\/p>\n

If guests are coming with a non-4\u00d74 vehicle, entry must be via Platjan border as the Motloutse Riverbed has to be crossed if coming via Pont Drift.

Approximately 1km outside Pont Drift border post, turn left.  It\u2019s 30km to the Tuli Wilderness<\/em> entrance.  Travelling on this road, you will cross a veterinary fence where you\u2019ll be required to put the soles of your shoes in an anti-pest watery solution (You are not required to pay anything at this gate).  Continue on to a four-way stop and go straight \u2013 do not turn left or right. <\/p>\n
