Get in

You have the flexibility to choose either a car or a motorbike to reach your destination. However, if you opt for a motorbike, be prepared for an adrenaline-filled journey once you leave the N4 highway and enter the Mpumalanga Escarpment. The road becomes much more thrilling and exciting. If you are departing from Gauteng, it's advisable to leave around midday on Friday to avoid the rush hour traffic and ensure a smoother journey.
