From Johannesburg head to Piet Retief and Pongola on the N2 and proceed south towards Mkuze.

Please note that the route from Jozini onwards often has cattle wandering across it, some of the signs have fallen down and so caution and slower driving speeds are necessary.

Please check on local websites (the AA website is particularly recommended) for advice on road works particularly between Johannesburg and Kosi.
