Coming from Mbeya, branch off from the highway towards Malawi a few kilometers before the border: left at a petrol station in the direction to Kyela. Shortly before Kyela, turn left into a dirt road to Matema, still 37 km away from where you are now.
As an alternative, we recommend in the dry season the route from Tukuyu directly to Mbaka, Ipinda and Matema.
For backpackers
From Dar es Salaam the SABECO bus company offers a direct connection to Kyela. The 1100-km-long route (684 miles) will be covered in one day. From Kyela pickups go for Matema. From Mbeya, bus station, there are buses usually directly to Matema, starting mostly at midday.
Coming from Europe
We gladly offer you your individual travel package, e.g.

From 2010, the International Airport in Mbeya will be in operation - 160 km distance from the campsite.
