  • Cape Route 62 is the tourist route in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, South Africa that meanders between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn, the Langkloof and Port Elizabeth, offering the shorter, scenic alternative to the N2 highway.
    It's an area of magnificent landscapes and towering cliffs, crystal clear streams and an abundance of trees and indigenous flora - all contribute to make Paarl, Wellington, the Breede River Valley, Klein Karoo and Langkloof some of South Africa's most diverse regions. The ever-changing colours of the majestic mountains, scenic passes, rivers, vineyards and orchards, as well as the multitude of attractions, will offer you an unforgettable adventure - whether this is in the physical sense or simply a kaleidoscope of scenic tranquillity.
    The easily accessible towns, nestled along the valleys, all offer ample opportunity for discovery. From visits to wineries and game reserves, tribal art, cultural tours, museums and for the more adventurous: hiking trails and mountain climbing, 4x4 routes, canoeing, horse riding, even ostrich riding, fishing and caving ...
    Cape Route 62 lends itself so well to self-drive holidays because of the excellent road conditions, sufficient accommodation offerings along the route and the diversity of attractions you'll encounter along your drive.
    Cape Route 62 is an exciting experience, even for the well-travelled. When you are tired after a long day's travel, you can even unwind in one of the region's invigorating hot-springs, revel in luxury or relax in rustic tranquillity.
    In 2017 A CNN Travel poll, as voted by tourists and travel journalists, puts Route 62, as the top road trip destination in the world, beating out a host of legendary global grand tours including Canada’s Alcan Highway and the Ticlio Pass in Peru.

    Perfect use of a drone to enhance your road trip experience and record of it. I just finished my 2 week roadtrip via Williston, Calvinia, Vanrhynsdorp, Vredendal, Clanwilliam, Klawer, Elandsbay, Dwarskersbos, Velddrif, Vredenburg, Jacobsbay, Hopefield, Piketberg, Porterville, Tulbach, Ceres and Beaufort West. For The Good Times...

      @@lionelvolkwyn2440 roads are fine except the part through North West province, Wolmaranstad is particularly bad, Potch to Jo'burg is not advisable to drive after dark. The part through Klerksdorp and the road to Potch is also full of potholes. From Kimberley all the way to the west coast is a pleasureable drive.
