Rhodes University is in the little town of Makhanda/Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. International travellers will likely fly into ORT airport, Johannesburg or Cape Town International Airport, Cape Town. From there it is another flight to Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth. And then, you can hire a car or get a shuttle for the 120km trip to Makhanda/Grahamstown.
Most accommodation is within walking distance of campus but please use the map for the listing if the website offers one, to check how near or distant the accommodation is from town. Please note that farm and game farm accommodation which are listed on some sites may be far out of town and thus not appropriate for conference attendees.
Makhanda was formerly called Grahamstown. Some websites use one name, some use the other and some use both.
