Shayamanzi Houseboats The Lake Jozini Experience



When travelling from Johannesburg

There are a couple of different routes :
  • Exiting JHB on the N17 from the South, head to Bethal.

  • Or exiting from the N12 via Witbank, pass through the Middleburg toll gate, take the R35 off- ramp towards Bethal.

  • From Bethal, travel to Ermelo, to Piet Retief, and onto Pongola.

  • From Pongola, travel for 27km, turn left off the N2 highway towards Golela/Swaziland border post.

  • After travelling 2km up a hill, turn left at the Shayamoya rocky/aloe entrance gate and follow the 1km dirt road to reception.

  • It is clearly signposted from the N2 highway.


Alternatively :

  • A longer but quieter and most scenic would be taking the N12 which joins the N4 past Middleburg until the 2 Highways join, exit on the R33 to Carolina.

  • There are a few left and right turns as you head onto Amsterdam and then Piet Retief, just follow the R33 signs.

  • From Piet Retief follow the directions as above.

  • Watch out for the traffic cops just outside the little towns!
