Once drove from Pretoria to Cape Town in one day!!!!!. late 80's in big old BMW e32 7 series. Some low level flying involved especially through the Karoo but my Dad had it down to a fine art! different time back then and not nearly as much traffic. Another time we stopped off in Beaufort west and got to see South Africa at its worst. Kitchen staff at the tiny hotel we were staying at dropped a tray of plates and glasses and it didn't end well for them. I was young and I heard words, in Afrikaans which i speak, that i'd never heard before or since. There was also a beating I'm sure. It certainly taught me how people should not be treated.
Drove many times from JHB to Cape Town but this one time drove in the afternoon from Bloem (The road at 15:40 ) The sun is literally in your face. If you don't have sun classes you are in trouble. I mostly drive at nigh or early hours of the morning to Cape Town its peaceful and less traffic for me.
Thank you ... thank you... thank you.... you just saved me four days of my vacation in SA... I was tore between flying and driving... flying to CT from Joburgh makes so much more sense... Thank you for sharing.. you rock !!
Done that trip a few times in my life. Also Cape Town (Sonstraal Heights just around corner from your Pinehurst destination in this video!) to Bulembu in Swaziland. Up the N1 past Bloemfontein, turn off to Senekal, across to Bethlehem then Standerton, Ermelo, Carolina, Barberton, Bulembu. Total distance just over 1900km usually did it in around 23 hours.
Hi. It's an old garmin dashcam..Actually not great quality. Attached to windscreen with sucktion cup. Nothing special or fancy. Guess the clear weather and sunshine kept it looking Bright and semi clear...
Not true. If you watch many vehicles overtake me. I was GPS tracked and limited so kept it at 120km/h most of the way down. Most trucks etc are slower.
My guess would be that the distance between the 2 cities is just too long and the road is not heavily congested throughout most of the year. For context, the distance between Johannesburg and Cape Town is about 1500 km and a lot of people take the 2 hour flight between the 2 cities as opposed to drive.
never expected South Africa's intercity road infrastructure is so advanced, much like Australia.
Thank you so much for sharing. This is on my bucket list to do. And one from Jo'burg to Durban and then down the coast to Cape Town.

Hi cape Town is so beautiful a nice day with my family

What speed were u traveling. I see u overtaking every vehicle but u not being overtaken.

Actually you had to speed up cape town is far, i normally drives at night..
@@siphiwemahlangu3008 true...260km/h in a golf R 7.5
That's how I drive at night
Where did you overnight?
Gariepdam
Why single lane??
