Location
Travelling to the Ranch
Situated 90 km (60 miles) north-west of the historical Diamond City of Kimberley, Hard Rock is easily accessible via road or air, with regular flights from international airports in Johannesburg and Cape Town to Kimberley.
Once you've arrived in the city you could travel to the game ranch via road - stopping off at historical sites such as the city's famed Big Hole, the !Khu and Kwe San Cultural Centre at Platfontein or the Nooitgedacht Glacier Floor, one of South Africa's 12 rock art national monuments - which can all be visited en route.
Alternatively, helicopter charters can be arranged to deliver you directly to the comfort of Hard Rock Lodge while fixed wing charters will deliver you to a nearby landing-strip where you will be received by ranch staff.
