From Jo’burg:
1st Option:
We would firmly recommend that you travel on the N1 via Bloemfontein, because of the current conditions of the road surfaces on the alternative shorter routes. Take the first Bloemfontein off-ramp off the N1, and follow the Bram Fischer airport signs, to get to the N8 (roughly 10km).
See above directions ‘From Bloemfontein’.
2nd Option:
Please check on Google for an update on roadworks for the following alternative option.
– N3 to Villiers.
– R26 via Frankfort, Reitz, Bethlehem, Fouriesburg, Ficksburg, Clocolan and Ladybrand.
