Africa Wild

Silly goose!

We have come a long way from there, maybe too far in fact

Very nice, but another old one but much nicer than those of today

My dummy is still far more interesting.

Thanks for your concern R.P..

We will be leaving in two weeks and were wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to avoid these roadworks.
At Waterval Boven we could use Schoemans Kloof.
Would going in at Phabeni be an option to getting to P/Kop?

I see you are back from your trip.
Which route did you take to/from ?
How was the drive?

Hi Dzombo. We travelled to the park all the way on the N4 via Schoemans Kloof to Malalane. Misread signage for Nelspruit by pass and ended up in the centre of Nelspruit. 4 hours travelling time and 1 hour for breakfast at Millys.

Roadworks near Witbank but no stop and go. Lanes narrow take care.

Left the park at Phabeni Gate and travelled on the R40 to Nelspruit. Again lack of proper signage near Nelspruit so we ended up near the soccer stadium. Onto the N4 all the way to Pretoria via Schoemans Kloof. Again 4 hours travel time with 1 hour brunch break in Hazyview.

Beware - Schoemans Kloof is 100 kph all the way and the locals love to try and push you off the road. I let them pass.

Be patient if you are stuck behind a truck. There are plenty of double lanes for overtaking.

All roads in good condition and traffic not bad at all.

Hope this is of help.

Yep, that's where we nearly had a head on collision with someone overtaking on a blind rise!
