South Africa Travelling Distances

The host cities in the 2010 World Cup are spread across South Africa - many visitors drastically underestimate just how long it is going to take them to travel between points. 

This is a guide to travelling distances in South Africa - take note that these times are if you go direct e.g. stopping for petrol, using bathrooms and nothing else - if you stop at all the nice things you see along the road it will end up taking you much longer!

Please note that all distances are via major roads and should only be used as a guideline.
