If your are planning to drive direct from the Johannesburg - Pretoria
area to Windhoek in Namibia, you should consider the following:
- There are 2 preferred routes, both having advantages and
disadvantages.
- The Kalahari Highway, distance Pretoria to Windhoek
about 1320kms
- The route via Upington, distance Pretoria to
Windhoek about 1831kms.
- The Botswana Route could be said to be a bit more picturesque, but we
consider can only be safely driven across
during daylight hours owing to the dangers of livestock (cattle, donkeys, goats)
wandering freely on the road. It can become quite hazardous during hours of
darkness.
