THE ROUTE

The drive along the N2

Every Garden Route trip leaves from our warehouse in Woodstock and takes the N2 over Sir Lowry’s Pass, through Caledon, Swellendam and Riversdale to Mossel Bay, then on to George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.

These are long trips, so we plan them with you: we agree the delivery day and time window when you book. One trip can drop at more than one town along the way if it is all your load, for example George and then Knysna.

TOWN BY ROAD DRIVING TIME
Swellendam 216 km about 2¾ hours
Mossel Bay 388 km about 4¾ hours
George 430 km about 5 hours
Wilderness 439 km about 5¼ hours
Sedgefield 461 km about 5½ hours
Knysna 486 km about 6 hours

WHY A DEDICATED TRIP

Why a dedicated trip to the Garden Route, not a courier

On a dedicated trip one crew loads your goods in Cape Town and carries them in at the other end. Nothing else rides with them.
