•Our venue is outside of Bela Bela ( in the Limpopo Province) just over 100km from Johannesburg Airport (in the Gauteng province).
•For those coming across the seas, flying into OR Tambo airport in JHB is the way to go.
•If you are planning on spending some time in JHB and driving around Gauteng, we recommend using Secure Express (public taxis are not a safe option in South Africa.) Uber is unfortunately not available in Limpopo.
•To get from Gauteng to Limpopo, we recommend hiring a car. The usual rental car providers have offices at the JHB airport and at various locations around Gauteng (Avis, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty etc.). You will need some cold hard cash on hand for the toll booths along the way.
•There will be a shuttle bus from Sondela (our recommended accommodation option for guests) but if you choose to drive yourself to the venue on the day, the gate code to get into Lunikhy is 1996#
There is a small amount of accommodation at the venue which will be taken up by our bridal party and (rather extensive) immediate families.
•We recommend that all other guests stay at Sondela Nature Reserve & Spa. It is a 20 minute drive from the venue, and we will be organising a shuttle bus to the venue on the day and a few shuttles back at the end of the evening (times to follow).
•We will be booking the Sondela Country House for family members. For other guests, the Makhato Bush Lodges are the nicer of the accommodation options at Sondela (although the chalets are also absolutely fine!) and for those who know that they’ll definitely be attending, we recommend booking sooner rather than later as the houses book out quickly over the weekends. For your booking, please email Tshidi on conferences@sondela.com with your preferred lodge number and 'Hartsuyker Wedding' as the reference. He will then send you a payment link.
