Which route did you take to/from ?
How was the drive?

Hi Dzombo. We travelled to the park all the way on the N4 via Schoemans Kloof to Malalane. Misread signage for Nelspruit by pass and ended up in the centre of Nelspruit. 4 hours travelling time and 1 hour for breakfast at Millys.

Roadworks near Witbank but no stop and go. Lanes narrow take care.

Left the park at Phabeni Gate and travelled on the R40 to Nelspruit. Again lack of proper signage near Nelspruit so we ended up near the soccer stadium. Onto the N4 all the way to Pretoria via Schoemans Kloof. Again 4 hours travel time with 1 hour brunch break in Hazyview.

Beware - Schoemans Kloof is 100 kph all the way and the locals love to try and push you off the road. I let them pass.

Be patient if you are stuck behind a truck. There are plenty of double lanes for overtaking.

All roads in good condition and traffic not bad at all.

Hope this is of help.

MBOMBELA – Cattle continue to use the Lowveld’s highways as footpaths. On Friday afternoon the newspaper witnessed how livestock almost caused an accident on the N4 near the Cairn turnoff.

adding that they also erect warning signs in high-risk areas and also post warnings on social media when they are advised of roaming livestock.

“In addition, although it isn’t our responsibility to keep the road clear of livestock, we have gone a step further in high-risk zones, such as near Matsulu and in Nkomazi, by contracting ‘livestock lookouts’ who cycle specific sections on a daily basis to ensure they remain livestock-free,” Soares-Nicholson said.
