The two sheets drawn for this route
One to navigate by, one to plan by. Between them they cover the coast road and the Klein Karoo alternative.
The provinces you drive through
The route starts in the Western Cape and finishes in the Eastern Cape. These carry everything either side of the road you are on.
Where it begins and where it ends
Cape Town at one end, Gqeberha at the other. Both worth more than a through-road.
Make a trip of it
Two more drives worth adding on. Kruger and the Panorama Route in the north-east, the Flower Route up the west coast in spring.
Where to next
Where the road starts, the two drives worth adding, and the country it sits in.
