Road Trip Inspiration

Now that you’re ready to book your 4×4 rental or motorhome rental, it’s time to get some road trip inspiration. Check out these five incredible South African road trips that’ll give you the best our country has to offer this summer.

Route 62

Route 62 in South Africa is a popular road trip route that stretches from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth through the Western and Eastern Cape. The route takes travellers through small towns, vineyards, and mountain passes, offering a peaceful alternative to busier highways.

Along the way, you can visit places like Barrydale, explore the Tradouw Pass, and stop in Oudtshoorn, known for its ostrich farming.

Drakensberg

The Drakensberg is a well-known destination for road trips, offering a mix of mountain scenery, outdoor activities, and cultural sites. Spanning KwaZulu-Natal and parts of the Eastern Cape, it is home to dramatic peaks, hiking trails, and rock art sites.

Visitors can explore uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or take on activities like horse riding, fishing, and birdwatching. The region also has small towns and resorts that provide places to rest and enjoy the surroundings.

Swartberg Pass

The Swartberg Pass is a famous mountain pass in the Western Cape, connecting the towns of Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert. This gravel road offers a combination of striking rock formations, steep switchbacks, and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Built by renowned engineer Thomas Bain in the late 19th century, the pass is both an engineering landmark and a scenic route. Along the way, travellers can stop at viewpoints, explore hiking trails, or visit the nearby Cango Caves.

The Wild Coast

The Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape is a popular destination for road trips, known for its unspoiled beaches, rolling hills, and rural villages. Stretching from the Great Kei River to Port Edward, the area offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural experiences.

Travellers can explore attractions like Hole in the Wall, Coffee Bay, and the Bulungula Lodge, or enjoy activities such as hiking, fishing, and surfing. The region’s gravel roads and remote locations require careful planning but reward visitors with a sense of tranquillity and adventure.

The West Coast

The West Coast of South Africa offers a straightforward yet rewarding road trip experience, stretching from Cape Town to the Namaqualand region. Known for its stark landscapes, fishing villages, and seasonal wildflowers, the area provides a unique blend of coastal and inland scenery.

Highlights include the West Coast National Park, the fishing town of Paternoster, and the vibrant blooms of the Namaqualand during spring. Visitors can enjoy activities such as birdwatching, kayaking, or sampling fresh seafood at local restaurants.
