Transfers to the lodge can either be via boat (45 min), helicopter (10 min) or hovercraft (35 min). If transfer is via boat, you may be required to wade through knee-deep water, so bear this in mind when choosing your attire.

Once you arrive at the sanctuary, you will be met by Azulik game viewing vehicle, and driven the 20 min drive to the lodge. Here a warm welcome and an ice-cold cocktail await you.
