Most other nationalities require a visa, these can be obtained from an embassy in advance and the cost varies from R750 (UK / US) to R350 for most European countries and South America.

The spectacular view, open space, sea breeze and warm sunlight were enough to rejuvenate my soul, but combined with the great facilities, wonderful service and good food offered by the lodge it made for a memorable holiday.
