Getting to Etali
There are a number of ways to reach Etali Safari Lodge: self-drive, road transfer, scheduled flights, chartered flights and helicopter charters.
Via Road
We can assist you with booking a road transfer from Johannesburg, South Africa (where OR Tambo International Airport is located) or Gaborone, Botswana (our closest major city). We have been using the same transfer companies for years, and they are reputable and safe.
Some of our guests also self-drive. The drive from Johannesburg (approximately 4.5 hours) or Gaborone (approximately 1 hour) is scenic and enjoyable, provided you are comfortable with driving on the left!
WARNING: Please do not use a GPS to reach the lodge—it will not give you correct directions as you get closer to Madikwe (which is in a rural area). See our Directions below!
Via Air
Scheduled flights depart from Federal Airlines offices at the Atlas Road entrance to O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. Approximate flying time from Johannesburg to the eastern airstrip in Madikwe is 60 minutes. Your guide and tracker team will greet you at the airstrip and take you on a game drive back to the lodge. The drive takes about 20 minutes if done directly, and often longer to enjoy wildlife sightings.
We can also arrange for private chartered flights to land at the Madikwe’s Eastern Airstrip, or a helicopter charter to land at our lodge’s helipad.
If you have questions, or would like help booking transport, please contact us at reservations@etalisafari.co.za.
