From the Durban CBD, catch a minibus taxi along Umgeni Road or Springfield Road — the fare is R12–R15 one way and the ride takes 30–45 minutes in morning traffic. Workers from KwaMashu and Inanda use the northern corridor taxis that run regularly into the area. If you're coming from Berea Road station, you can walk or take a short connecting taxi to the business park entrance. Budget extra time for early shifts.

From the Springfield taxi rank on Umgeni Road, head east along Umgeni Road toward the business park — most office and industrial facilities are within a 5–10 minute walk of the main entrances. Look for the Springfield Industrial Park signage as your landmark. Taxis drop passengers close to the main gates, so you won't need to walk far once you arrive.
