These bullets can give you some advice if you want to go the proper off-road route.  https://www.loot.co.za/product/david-bristow-riding-the-dragon-s-spine/vbcm-1681-g630

Hi Tim thanks so much I will look into it for some advice but we want to do a gravel/road ride. But thanks for the response

I would get in touch with Massive Adventures - they have a gravel and road route from Gauteng to Cape Town called the 1000 Miler (free of charge GPX track). They also used to run an event that traversed the whole country, someone can probably send you the route as well. https://massiveadventures.co.za/ 

I've done Haenertsburg to George on a bicycle, mostly tar, for the 9 Peaks Challenge. Welcome to DM me although it was in 2015.
