TRAVELLING TO NAKO
Your Trip
NAKO Safari Lodge is easily accessed by road, daily shuttle flights, private charter flights or helicopter, all of which we will happily arrange. Travelling to NAKO is hassle free and we’ll assist you every step of the way. There are various options below depending on your preferred mode of transportation.
Important Notice
ADULTS TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS: As from 01 June 2015, all persons under the age of 18 years of age, traveling to/from South Africa are required to produce an UNABRIDGED BIRTH CERTIFICATE indicating the biological parents of the minor. In the case where only one parent is travelling with the child, a consent from the other parent in the form of an affidavit, is required. Airlines will be forced to refuse travel to persons under the age of 18 not in possession of these documents.
Private Charters Flights And Helicopters
Private Charter flights and helicopters can be arranged for a more exclusive experience and includes a meet & greet facility, whereby guests will be escorted off international flights through customs / immigration on arrival. Flight times are reasonably flexible to suit guests’ requirements and dependent on flight and lodge operations. Please be sure to enquire with Reservations about the possibility of an earlier check-in or later check-out as a surcharge may be applicable for transfers to / from the airstrip.
Road Transfers
Alternatively, a road transfer can be arranged to transfer guests to/from NAKO Safari Lodge. Being situated a mere one hours’ drive from Johannesburg, 45 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport or 30 minutes from Pretoria enables guests to maximise their time in nature, and with us. Please enquire for transfers from other destinations.
Driving Yourself
There is also the option of renting a vehicle at the airport and driving yourself to the lodge. This is a great way to see more of the country and the roads are generally in good condition, thus a 4×4 vehicle is not a requirement. We do advise using the downloadable directions to the lodge.

Medical Requirements
Dinokeng Game Reserve is a Malaria FREE area, therefore no anti-Malaria medication is required. We have a medical box available with basic medication for your convenience, however, if you are taking any prescribed medication, please ensure that you have an additional supply available in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
A paramedic is stationed in the reserve and can be called out to the lodge in necessary situations. Emergency Medical evacuation is also available for emergency cases, but each case is assessed individually and therefore no guarantees are given. We do advise that all guests take out personal travel insurance.
