Cape town travel via N12 or N1


Recommended Posts

Good day

 

We are traveling to Cape town for the Argus,from Potchefstroom.

I need advice which is the best route via Kimberley or Bloemfontein?

 

Want to know how long is the "stop & go" between Kimberley and Hopetown?

 

Best regards

Morne

N12

- Less traffic, but not in great condition in some spots.

- Not wide enough in places between Potch and Kimberley.

- Not as many good stops along the way

- There can be a lot of heavy duty trucks from Potch to Wolmaransstad

 

N1

- Busier, but road is nice and wide in most spots

- Lots of places to stop to stretch the legs and grab some snacks and food

- Arguably safer

- Depending on the day and time there can be heavy trucks most of the route
