Getting Around South Africa

Getting Around South Africa

South Africa covers 1 221 037 square kilometres, so getting around a country this size should be a challenge - but alas, it is not.

Fly, drive, motorbike or get driven; those are just a few of the numerous choices one has when travelling around this fantastic country.

The below options of getting between destinations are by far and away, the most popular that our clientele asks for. Flying is the most popular choice as one gets to spend more time at any given destination. Self-driving between destinations comes in a close second as one gets to experience the South Africa countryside and her people. At the end of the day, it always boils down to what you like when travelling.

Of interest, South Africa ranks No. 10 in the World for the length of her road network - 747 014 km's of roads are on offer for you to explore (if, of course, you have the time).
