A long, mostly single-lane road through the former Transkei. Stray livestock and potholes make daylight driving essential.
This guide was written for Durban to East London. The same roads apply on your trip, but read exits, merges and lane tips the other way round.
Loading driver reports…
The road is dual carriageway near Gonubie and single lane beyond it. Overtaking gets harder once you leave the city.
Steep, winding descent and climb at the Great Kei River crossing. Use low gears and expect slow trucks.
Same risk as further north. Keep a lookout on bends.
The N2 runs through Mthatha with traffic lights, taxis and pedestrians. Expect delays.
Keep your speed down and leave room to react.
Animals wander onto the road day and night. Slow down near villages and never drive this stretch after dark if you can avoid it.
Good fuel and food stop before the Eastern Cape.
Hilly stretch near Kokstad, including the steep Brook's Nek. Mist and slow trucks are common.
Near Port Shepstone, where the N2 turns inland.
Passengers only, or once you've stopped. Never while driving.
A tap posts the hazard and road. To add the lane, how bad it is or a tip, use "Add a detailed report" further down.
Your location is only used when you tap a button that asks for it. Reports show it rounded to about 100 m, never your exact spot. You can always type the road instead.
