Road trip from Cape Town to Durban

With its stunning landscapes, beautiful coastline and vibrant cities, South Africa is an amazing destination that has something to offer every traveller. You can visit where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, taste world-class wines at the cellar door, and try your luck spotting some of the Big Five on safari.

The 1,830 km road trip from Cape Town to Durban will take 24 hours to drive. You can visit Paarl, Prince Albert, Beersheba and Pietermaritzburg inland or follow the coast to visit Cape Agulhas, Bontebok National Park, Gqeberha and East London.

Durban, where your journey culminates, is a vibrant city known for its bustling beaches and cultural mix. Add on a road trip from Cape Town and you have a fantastic way to explore some of the highlights of South Africa. Read on to learn more about what awaits you on this epic adventure!

How to drive from Cape Town to Durban

The map below shows two great route options for your road trip from Cape Town to Durban. Click on the star icons for headline details, and scroll down for much more information below.

* Always remember that drive times can be impacted by traffic, closures, weather and other conditions. It's best to double-check while planning and before starting out on your trip.

How far is Durban from Cape Town, and how long will the road trip take?

The quickest way to drive from Cape Town to Durban takes around 18 hours, but you'll miss out on some amazing sights if you just stick to the highway, so we've put together two great alternatives.

The Drakensberg Route from Cape Town to Durban takes about 25 hours to drive, covering a distance of 1,930 kilometres, but with its mountain landscapes and vineyard views, you'll hardly notice the additional distance.

If you'd prefer to take in some of South Africa's Atlantic scenery, the 1,850-kilometer Coastal Route is slightly quicker at 22 hours 35 minutes.

While you could complete either drive in about a day and a half, we'd definitely suggest taking your trip at a more leisurely pace and allowing yourself at least a week to explore some of the highlights of the beautiful Eastern Cape.

Best road trip route from Cape Town to Durban

Whether you travel inland or via the coast on your road trip from Cape Town to Durban, you'll be immersed in breathtaking experiences along the way.

As we've mentioned, the Drakensberg Route majors on South Africa's winelands and mountain views. As you leave Cape Town, you'll pass through Paarl, Worcester, and Montagu before reaching Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo, where stunning vineyards stretch out between lush green mountain slopes.

Your journey continues through the vast, rolling hills of the semi-desert Karoo before you enjoy the sweeping view from the top of the Swartberg Pass. Approaching Underberg, you'll also see the southern Drakensberg mountains and the spectacular Sani Pass.

As you might expect, the Coastal Route exchanges mountain passes for ocean lookouts. The route skirts the Atlantic Ocean at first as you head southeast from Cape Town, passing through picturesque coastal towns nestled between the sea and the hills.

After visiting the southernmost tip of the African continent at L'Agulhas, you'll join the famous Garden Route, which follows the coast of the Indian Ocean. With stunning beaches, vibrant coastal towns, and extensive tracts of temperate indigenous rainforests, this is one of the many highlights of the trip.

Continuing on towards Durban, you'll enter the Eastern Cape and the Transkei, the homeland of the Xhosa people. This rural area is dotted with traditional clay houses and roaming cattle.

You also have the option to take a detour along the Wild Coast and explore coastal towns like Cintsa and Coffee Bay before arriving at your destination, Durban.

Drakensberg Route

From your starting point in Cape Town, you'll begin by heading northeast towards Paarl, where you can visit the Afrikaans Language Monument. From here, it's a stunning drive through the mountains to reach Worcester.

Next, you will head towards Montagu, a town known for its preserved historical buildings. Carrying on along the R62, you'll be immersed in mile after mile of colourful countryside as far as Oudtshoorn before turning left to reach Prince Albert via the Swartberg Pass.

You can enjoy dramatic views across the rugged landscape of the high mountains from the Swartberg Pass, but the gravel road is narrow and has steep drop-offs.

For a more straightforward drive, you can also reach Prince Albert by making your way back to the N1 after visiting Montagu. From the N1, turn onto N407 and continue on the main route from Prince Albert.

The journey continues through Klaarstroom, De Rust and Willowmore before turning north towards Graaff-Reinet. If time allows, spend some time in Camdeboo National Park. Alternatively, you can make a short detour on the R58 to Aliwal North, known for its Anglo-Boer War Blockhouse.

Take the turn towards Faview to visit the Ongeluksnek Nature Reserve, then return to the R56 and continue towards Underberg, a great base for exploring the Drakensberg mountain range, and continue on to Beersheba before arriving in Durban.

Coastal Route (via the Garden Route)

Start your coastal adventure from Cape Town by heading towards Strand and then to the picturesque Groenlandberg Nature Reserve. You'll soon reach Hermanus - if you're lucky, you can spot majestic Southern Right Whales from the viewpoint here.

Further along the road you'll come across the African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary near Gansbaai. The journey then takes you to the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet.

From here, make your way back to the N2 at Swellendam, home to the Bontebok National Park. Continuing along the scenic route, you'll get the opportunity to visit the Point of Human Origins near Mossel Bay before hopping on the famous Garden Route.

Following Garden Route, you'll arrive in Knysna and then a short drive will take you to Plettenberg Bay and the Robberg Peninsula. Continuing along the Garden Route, you'll reach Jeffreys Bay before arriving in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth).

Next, the route takes you through Port Alfred and East London, where the Ann Bryant Art Gallery showcases South African Art, on the way to Port Shepstone. From here you'll take the final stretch of the N2, which follows the coast to your destination, Durban.

Best places to stop between Cape Town and Durban

With so many kilometers to cover and so much to see along the way on a Cape Town to Durban road trip, you're going to need to make a few overnight stops along the way. Here are some of our top picks to get you started with your planning.

Soak in the artistic atmosphere of Prince Albert

Right in the heart of the Karoo, Prince Albert is a fabulous place to spend a night or two if you're travelling on the Drakensberg Route, approximately six hours into your journey from Cape Town.

Surrounded by unforgettable landscapes, Prince Albert is dotted with artsy charm and an array of quaint coffee shops. It's a hub for local produce, so make sure you get a taste of the region's fresh and dried fruits, olives, and homemade cheeses while you're in town.

One of the highlights of Prince Albert is the Fransie Pienaar Museum, which captures the town's rich cultural and historical heritage.

Why not take a ghost tour for a more spine-tingling glimpse into the town's mysterious past? Prince Albert is rumoured to be the most haunted town in the Karoo, with at least ten resident ghosts. One is even said to haunt the nearby Swartberg Pass!

Combining old-fashioned elegance with modern style and comfort, De Bergkant Lodge offers an exquisite retreat in the town's centre. Set amidst stunning gardens, guests can indulge in one of three year-round outdoor swimming pools.

The lodge also features a cosy shared lounge and an inviting on-site bar, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

De Bergkant Lodge is ideally located for visiting attractions in Prince Albert as well as exploring the surrounding area. The Showroom Theatre, a hub for the arts and entertainment, is just a 600-meter stroll away. For nature enthusiasts, the start of the Gordon Koppie walking trail is nearby too.

Admire the views of Algoa Bay in Gqeberha

Gqeberha, the largest city in the Eastern Cape, is an ideal stopover along the Coastal Route. It's just under halfway along the route, about 10 hours and 45 minutes into your drive from Cape Town. This beautiful city is famous for its long, beautiful beaches and the warm hospitality of its residents.

Gqeberha was known for many years as Port Elizabeth and became a significant port city. It played a pivotal role for ships travelling the Cape Route to India and is still famed for its rich history and cultural vibrancy.

There's plenty to see and do in Gqeberha, especially if you want to delve into the city's history. The Donkin Heritage Trail lets you trace the city's past through an immersive historical experience. When you're ready for some relaxation and beach activities, head to picturesque Sardinia Bay Beach.

For your stay in Gqeberha, the Mantis No5 Boutique Art Hotel in Summerstrand is an amazing choice. The modern and stylish hotel boasts luxurious suites with private balconies overlooking lush gardens. You can also relax by the outdoor swimming pool or book a treatment at the spa.

Mantis No5 Boutique Art Hotel is just 100 metres from Kings Beach. Known for its golden sands and inviting waters, you'll have easy access to a day of sun and surf. Additionally, Bayworld, approximately one kilometre away, combines a museum, an oceanarium, and a snake park.

Where to stay when you reach Durban

Durban, affectionately known as “South Africa's playground,” is celebrated for its consistently warm weather and vibrant, diverse culture. Influenced by the warm Indian Ocean and the sunny climate, it's a year-round destination for holidaymakers.

The Golden Mile offers a stretch of golden beaches, while the Durban Natural Science Museum provides intriguing insights into the natural world.

A fascinating aspect of Durban is its large Indian community, the biggest outside of India. Historically, Durban played a significant role in Mahatma Gandhi's political journey. This cultural blend is evident in local favourites like "Bunny Chow," a unique dish that symbolizes Durban's culinary fusion.

The Oyster Box is our favourite place to stay in Durban . This luxurious 5-star hotel boasts a stellar location overlooking the Indian Ocean and the iconic Umhlanga Lighthouse.

You can choose from beautifully decorated rooms, some of which feature a private patio and plunge pool, providing an intimate and serene experience.

The hotel's dining options are a highlight, with a restaurant offering a terrace overlooking the ocean. Known for its delicious seafood and diverse menu, we highly recommend reserving a table at this restaurant.

The Oyster Box also features two swimming pools and a fabulous spa, ensuring guests can unwind in style and comfort.

Top 4 airlines serving from cape town to durban.

Airlink is my preferred airline for travel in South and Southern Africa. Upington international airport is small so check in and security screening is a breeze. Boarding is easy and the flight was good. Took a while to get the luggage at OR Tambo airport but all in all a nice experience

It was a great experience , it was quick and on time

this route is more expensive than you would expect. Boarding, disembarking was easy and fast. Cabin crew was friendly. Seats are small

The meal was excellent and well suited to a short journey.

Original flight was delayed due to technical issue. Very poor communication. The manager only appeared when we were climbing on board the plane.This resulted in us missing our follow on flight also with Airlink. No ticket issued from Skukuza and no assistance when we landed to address the issue. We had to make our own arrangements and go to their sales desk. Again they had no knowledge of the flight delay and of any passengers that had connecting flights. The lady (unfortunately with all the STRESS I have forgotten her name) at the counter was extremely helpful and is an excellent example of the type of employee Airlink need to promote and employ. Our luggage was in limbo due to all the missing information and assistance. We had to resort to buying extra tickets from South African Airways who were extremely helpful. I work at an airport so am familiar with its workings. I will infuture be looking for alternative flights.

Airline is the best airline experience I’ve ever had.

My flight was good no comments Crew members were good Flight on schedule even earlier at some point Thanks

Easy boarding, smooth flight, friendly and helpful attendants. As with every other airline, there isn't enough leg room to be comfortable. Food was adequate.

Easy short flight from Johannesburg to Harare. Boarding was slow, flight attendants were friendly. They did a meal service on this short flight, including wine, which was pretty cool.

Flight was moved forward by 2 hours with 3 days notice. This meant I could not connect from flight from Johannesburg. So did not take the flight and drove to Kasane. Will never use Air Botswana unless absolutely necessary. Mark

Very good experience considering that is low cost company. Good value for money.

Make some provisions for non-disabled elderly people who don't require assistance necessarily but would appreciate not having to walks long distances or stand for prolonged periods of time. For example: Seats close to boarding gates. Not being required to climb down and up stairs to board and deplane if in rows 17 upwards. Not being required to stand in long queues in boarding tunnels waiting to board. Priority fast track through security points to avoid long queues in departure halls.

Great airline. Will use again. Keep up the great work though and maintain your customer retention. And please keep an eye on the bottom line and stay in business for decades to come and grow from strength to strength.

For the first time ever we had a grumpy check in agent. I got told off for not having a lock on my bag and she looked seriously put out that we were checking in as a group of 7. Very unusual as I fly regularly with Safair and all the staff have always been super friendly.

Free or minimal cost water available in recyclable cups on board would be very welcome! Everything else was great!

Seats are small. But I guess that will not change on my behalf. Otherwise their service is great.

Loved our Cabin Crew you could tell they enjoyed there job. The Chief Stuart was a delight. What a great way to start our day with such a positive company.

They canceled my flight didn't inform me , while I was had already checked in , this was worst experience ever

Plettenberg Bay is a unique airport, so boarding with always have certain quirks. Cemair has zero regard for passengers, and their commitment to adhering to departure times. In two flights we had 3 flight changes, and a 1.5h delay. If you have any kind preceding or follow on plans, do not fly Cemair.

For now everything is good we want access to book direct to camair

send ourt booking confirmation numbers as soon as payment is done to simplify checkin

No A/C on the plane - and it was hot. Unmarked aircraft - looked sketchy.

Flight delayed with no explanation was only made aware lats min when already arrived at the air port

Top airline flying from cape town to durban.

Very good experience considering that is low cost company. Good value for money.

Make some provisions for non-disabled elderly people who don't require assistance necessarily but would appreciate not having to walks long distances or stand for prolonged periods of time. For example: Seats close to boarding gates. Not being required to climb down and up stairs to board and deplane if in rows 17 upwards. Not being required to stand in long queues in boarding tunnels waiting to board. Priority fast track through security points to avoid long queues in departure halls.

Great airline. Will use again. Keep up the great work though and maintain your customer retention. And please keep an eye on the bottom line and stay in business for decades to come and grow from strength to strength.

For the first time ever we had a grumpy check in agent. I got told off for not having a lock on my bag and she looked seriously put out that we were checking in as a group of 7. Very unusual as I fly regularly with Safair and all the staff have always been super friendly.

Free or minimal cost water available in recyclable cups on board would be very welcome! Everything else was great!

Seats are small. But I guess that will not change on my behalf. Otherwise their service is great.

Loved our Cabin Crew you could tell they enjoyed there job. The Chief Stuart was a delight. What a great way to start our day with such a positive company.

5:20 pm :  board British Airways Plc flight you can scroll down to view other airlines that fly this route

How far is Durban from Cape Town? Here's the quick answer if you have a private jet and you can fly in the fastest possible straight line.

Flight distance: 791 miles or 1273 km

Flight time: 2 hours, 5 minutes

Compare this to a whole day of commercial travel with the airports and waiting in line for security, which ends up taking a total of 5 hours, 24 minutes .

Flying private is roughly 2.7x faster , and saves you about 3.5 hours in your total travel time.

Because of the curvature of the Earth, the shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or "as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative Vincenty formula. For a long distance, this appears as a curve on the map, and this is often the route that commercial airlines will take so it's a good estimate of the frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate as well.

This is a medium length flight, so unless you have a nice private jet, you might be booking a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need to include how many minutes to get to your local airport, wait for security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the other airport, and get to your destination. The flight itinerary at the top of the page takes into account all these factors to get a more accurate estimate of your actual flight time .

The most common route is CPT to DUR, so that's what we used in the sample itinerary. However, you may want to explore travel alternatives, you could try one of these routes:

  • CPT to PZB Cape Town International to Pietermaritzburg Airport
  • CPT to DUR Cape Town International to King Shaka International

We picked British Airways Plc for your main flight, but there are other airlines that you should check if you're looking for the cheapest flight, or you need a different schedule. Check the websites of these airlines:

The bus made an unscheduled stop in Pietermaritzburg, I had an important engagement I missed.

The bus was clean and driving very well and specially drivers were very caring making sure that everyone is on board before departure, and very professional, we had a long drive due to traffic on the way and many stops which causes delay of 2hrs late, besides that everything was good 😊

The radio and the TV wasn’t working. If they can fix that it will be much better

Top 4 airlines serving from durban to cape town.

Airlink is my preferred airline for travel in South and Southern Africa. Upington international airport is small so check in and security screening is a breeze. Boarding is easy and the flight was good. Took a while to get the luggage at OR Tambo airport but all in all a nice experience

It was a great experience , it was quick and on time

this route is more expensive than you would expect. Boarding, disembarking was easy and fast. Cabin crew was friendly. Seats are small

The meal was excellent and well suited to a short journey.

Original flight was delayed due to technical issue. Very poor communication. The manager only appeared when we were climbing on board the plane.This resulted in us missing our follow on flight also with Airlink. No ticket issued from Skukuza and no assistance when we landed to address the issue. We had to make our own arrangements and go to their sales desk. Again they had no knowledge of the flight delay and of any passengers that had connecting flights. The lady (unfortunately with all the STRESS I have forgotten her name) at the counter was extremely helpful and is an excellent example of the type of employee Airlink need to promote and employ. Our luggage was in limbo due to all the missing information and assistance. We had to resort to buying extra tickets from South African Airways who were extremely helpful. I work at an airport so am familiar with its workings. I will infuture be looking for alternative flights.

Airline is the best airline experience I’ve ever had.

My flight was good no comments Crew members were good Flight on schedule even earlier at some point Thanks

Easy boarding, smooth flight, friendly and helpful attendants. As with every other airline, there isn't enough leg room to be comfortable. Food was adequate.

Easy short flight from Johannesburg to Harare. Boarding was slow, flight attendants were friendly. They did a meal service on this short flight, including wine, which was pretty cool.

Flight was moved forward by 2 hours with 3 days notice. This meant I could not connect from flight from Johannesburg. So did not take the flight and drove to Kasane. Will never use Air Botswana unless absolutely necessary. Mark

Very good experience considering that is low cost company. Good value for money.

Make some provisions for non-disabled elderly people who don't require assistance necessarily but would appreciate not having to walks long distances or stand for prolonged periods of time. For example: Seats close to boarding gates. Not being required to climb down and up stairs to board and deplane if in rows 17 upwards. Not being required to stand in long queues in boarding tunnels waiting to board. Priority fast track through security points to avoid long queues in departure halls.

Great airline. Will use again. Keep up the great work though and maintain your customer retention. And please keep an eye on the bottom line and stay in business for decades to come and grow from strength to strength.

For the first time ever we had a grumpy check in agent. I got told off for not having a lock on my bag and she looked seriously put out that we were checking in as a group of 7. Very unusual as I fly regularly with Safair and all the staff have always been super friendly.

Free or minimal cost water available in recyclable cups on board would be very welcome! Everything else was great!

Seats are small. But I guess that will not change on my behalf. Otherwise their service is great.

Loved our Cabin Crew you could tell they enjoyed there job. The Chief Stuart was a delight. What a great way to start our day with such a positive company.

They canceled my flight didn't inform me , while I was had already checked in , this was worst experience ever

Plettenberg Bay is a unique airport, so boarding with always have certain quirks. Cemair has zero regard for passengers, and their commitment to adhering to departure times. In two flights we had 3 flight changes, and a 1.5h delay. If you have any kind preceding or follow on plans, do not fly Cemair.

For now everything is good we want access to book direct to camair

send ourt booking confirmation numbers as soon as payment is done to simplify checkin

No A/C on the plane - and it was hot. Unmarked aircraft - looked sketchy.

Flight delayed with no explanation was only made aware lats min when already arrived at the air port

Efficient low cost operation.. Gets you from A to B, not much else.

Which South African City Is Right For You?

W hen planning a trip to South Africa, selecting which cities will make it on the final itinerary can be overwhelming. Each city offers a different vibe, which can make a world of difference in terms of your preferred vacation style.

While Johannesburg is where you go when your lust for Amapiano keeps calling, Cape Town offers more diversity from its landscape to the people. Durban is another popular coastal city with its own unique points of interest.

One thing each city has in common is the thread of Nelson Mandela’s legacy to dismantle the Apartheid system, which institutionally segregated South Africa’s population by race from 1948 through the early 1990s. The country has preserved pivotal landmarks that mark significant moments in the life and mission of Mandela.

There is so much more to the culture and people of South Africa. A song found in spite of sorrow. A rhythmic, spiritual dance in the face of moments that might otherwise cause despair. A position of sovereignty, pride in one’s home country and the preservation of traditions passed down for generations. 

Consider these city highlights when planning your visit to South Africa.

Johannesburg

Johannesburg is where Blackness is most beautifully on display throughout the city. More than 75 percent of the city’s 6.1 million population identifies as Black African. From nightlife to South African traditional culture, this is where you’ll find your fill. 

Located in the Gauteng province, Johannesburg is a landlocked city in the eastern plateau area of South Africa. For a better understanding of the country’s history, start with visits to the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill. Soweto, a township in the city, is where you’ll discover the still-present effects of Apartheid. However, hope also is found in Madiba’s humble beginnings at Mandela’s House, where he lived from 1946 to 1962.

For creative inspiration, local food finds and art that overwhelms the senses in the best way, head to Maboneng. Large-scale works of art adorn the facades of mid-rise buildings, often portraying life and symbols of Africa through the artist’s lens. Cafes, local eateries, mini-art galleries and indie fashion designers line the main streets. More entertainment is found in hideaway social spaces on adjacent roadways.  

One can’t truly speak on Johannesburg and not mention the plethora of nightlife entertainment in the city. Solo travelers and friend groups will find everything from a casual restaurant turn-up to reserved section bottle service clubs. The most committed homebody will find it hard to resist the swell of energy that permeates the clubs in Johannesburg.

Cape Town is much more diverse when it comes to the demographic makeup of the city. There are plenty of African experiences to explore, you’ll have to be more intentional about finding them.

Cape Town is where luxury meets the sea. Located in the southwestern corner of the Western Cape province, art, food, wine and culture flourish here. Visitors come to Cape Town from around the world to enjoy South African staples from wildlife to the Winelands. 

A casual vacation day in Cape Town might find you exploring the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where shopping, good eats and family-friendly activities are plentiful. Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa is a stunning building that should be on every art lover’s itinerary. Some visitors make it a point to visit Robben Island, where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. Others prefer time in nature, hiking Signal Hill for epic sunrises or taking in panoramic views from atop Table Mountain.

Not far from the city are several other activities that most travelers come to Cape Town for. Aquila Safari Private Game Reserve, where you can spot the ‘Big 5,’ is two hours away by car. Several wine regions including Stellenbosch, Constantia and Franschhoek are also nereby.

Vacationing in Cape Town is for adventurers as much as it is for foodies, oenophiles, families and solo travelers. It’s also worth mentioning that Cape Town holds its own in terms of nights on the town and dining experiences. Some of the best seafood dishes you’ll ever try will likely be while in Cape Town. For a nightcap after the sun goes down, head to Bree Street in the CBD area. On the weekends, head to The Neighbourgoods Market for great food, sounds by a local DJ and independent artist goods.

Although not as many travelers make their way to Durban, some may find that all the more reason to add it to the list. As the largest city of the KwaZulu-Natal province, Durban sits on the east coast of South Africa on the Indian Ocean coastline.

Of all the reasons to consider Durban, its warm weather and beautiful beaches are at the top of the list. Daytime temperatures range between the mid-70s and mid-80s year round, although the evenings can get chilly from March to October. Umhlanga Beach, uShaka Beach and Northern Umdloti Beach offer safe swimming waters or the perfect setting for a day in the sand. Durban is also where many go to check off bucket list whale-watching tours.

African, Colonial and Indian influences blend together in the city, forming a colorful Afro-Indian culture that characterizes this region of the country. One signature trademark of the city is its popularity as one of the world’s curry capitals. Bunny chow is a popular Indian dish made with a half-loaf of bread that has been hollowed out and filled with curry. This dish, along with other traditional Indian dishes, is on the menu of various restaurants around the city, so prepare to eat your way through Durban.

Durban delivers more than beaches with several museums and nearby attractions worth a visit. The Phansi Museum provides context to local traditions and way of life in the region. Through its collection of artifacts, learn firsthand how everyday South Africans navigate daily life, commemorate special occasions and celebrate their ancestry through handmade goods.

Less than two hours inland from Durban is the Nelson Mandela Capture Site, where a museum stands today. Similar to other museums surrounding Mandela’s legacy, visitors can dive into the state of South Africa leading up to his arrest, the decades that followed and intimate portraits of the former president in his latter years. Be sure to visit Howick Falls along the route, a beautiful natural landscape and the second-tallest waterfall in South Africa.
