The full Garden Route on the N2: mountain pass out of Cape Town, open Overberg farmland, then forests, lagoons and the Tsitsikamma toll road.
This guide was written for Cape Town to Gqeberha. The same roads apply on your trip, but read exits, merges and lane tips the other way round.
Loading driver reports…
Dual carriageway between the Van Stadens Bridge and the city; single carriageway west of it.
Good rest stop just off the N2 in the Tsitsikamma.
Near Nature's Valley, on the toll road over the Bloukrans Bridge.
The N2 runs through Knysna and backs up in December and Easter holidays.
Winding section between George and Wilderness. Slow down on the bends.
Good stops before George.
Mostly single carriageway with trucks. Use the passing lanes rather than risking it.
Fuel and food stops on the Overberg stretch.
Strong southeasterly gusts in summer and mist in winter. Slow down, especially towing.
The N2 stops being a freeway past Somerset West and has robots. Queues build at peak times.
Stay on the N2, keep doors locked and don't stop on the shoulder. Use only the exits you know.
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.
