4. The Turn-off: Look out for the R526 and hang a left. Follow this for another 23.1 km.
5. The Final Stretch: You're almost there! Turn right for 160 m, then take a slight left for 110 m.
6. Arrival: Go straight for 91 m, turn right, and then a quick, slight right. Selati Game Reserve will be right there on your right.
