When entering this town you will see a small yellow grocery store with some signs of Mkhaya next to it. As strange and barren as it may look, this is the pickup point.
For people who booked the expensive accommodation in Mkhaya, pickup times are as arranged but mostly around 16:00. For people who do a day tour, pickup times are strictly around 10:00 and 16:00. Tours are arranged by internet Big Game Parks or by phone +268 528 3943 / 4.
Don't expect to take your car into the reserve, even if you have a 4x4. The reserve is only accessible by crossing a river which floods quite often when it has rained, making crossing the river impossible. So be prepared to leave your car in the village instead.
If the river floods, the guide will take you on foot over a nearby railway bridge to cross the river.
