Coming via Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp
When you arrive in Ladismith do NOT go straight through following the sign to Laingsburg. Instead, stay on the R62 and go out past the garage towards Barrydale/Montague for about ten kms and only then turn right on to the Laingsburg road.
Coming from George on N2
Drive on the N2 all the way to Riversdale. Turn right into the town and cross the railway line.
When you have gone half way through the town you will see the left hand turn to Ladismith. (do not drive straight through and go out the other side of the town)
Go straight up through the beautiful Garcia pass and about half an hour later, you'll come to a T junction which is at the R62. Turn right onto the R62. The next road left is the Laingsburg road. Turn left onto this road.
Coming from Cape Town
Take the R62 through Worcester, Robertson, Montague and Barrydale. About 10 km short of Ladismith, turn left onto the Laingsburg road.
Once on the Laingsburg road
After about 5,5 km you will come to a farm gate on the left hand side, opposite a small pale green house (if you go over the little bridge over the Klein Swart small river you have gone too far). You will see a large white flag with the CACH logo and a white name board which says Karoo Wildlife Centre. Turn left on to the access road. The gate is locked, but there is a blue key box with the key to the gate in it. The blue key box is attached to the steel pole holding the signboard. The box is protected by a pin code. Please phone us before you get there so that we can give you the code.

After passing the gate, you will go through 2 farm gates, which are not normally locked on weekdays. Follow the road past the first farm house, go through the gate signposted "Karoo Wildlife Centre" and you will see the house up on the hill across the valley to the left of all the green water tanks.
