How to get to NTONI Game Reserve

How to get to NTONI Game Reserve becomes straightforward once you know the nearest airport, the driving routes and the available transfer options. The reserve sits in a quiet part of the Karoo, and the main roads leading toward the region are well maintained. However, the final 30 kilometres follow a gravel road, which is suitable for normal vehicles but requires a steady driving pace. With this in mind, guests can plan their arrival with clear expectations. The sections below outline the practical points that matter most when arranging your trip.

Airport & Transfers

Nearest Airport & Transfers

The nearest airport to NTONI is Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), and the drive from the airport to the reserve covers roughly 275 kilometres. Because the regional roads remain predictable throughout the year, the route stays manageable for most guests. After landing, you can arrange a transfer directly with NTONI. Sometimes the team manages the transfer with their own vehicles, and at other times the service is completed through a trusted partner. As a result, the connection from the airport to the reserve remains steady and uncomplicated.

With a car

Directions by Car

Two main driving routes lead from Port Elizabeth to the reserve. One route follows a combination of highway sections and quieter farm roads, therefore the scenery changes gradually as you move inland. The second route stays mostly on the highway, and this option works well for guests who prefer consistent road conditions. In addition, both routes include clear signage on the final stretch, so reaching the main gate remains straightforward.

Transfers
NTONI offers arranged transfer services for guests who prefer not to drive. The team coordinates the pickup time and manages the route, which keeps the journey controlled from the airport to the lodge. Smaller groups travel in NTONI’s own vehicles, while larger groups may use a minibus when additional space is required. Because the transfers run on established routes, travel times remain steady and easy to predict. In addition, the driver provides guidance during the trip, so every guest arrives prepared.
