Send us Fan Mail This is a unique route to travel. It is special because so many elements of our history can be explored while driving this highway. It stretches from Maputo - actually Komatipoort which is the South African border - right through to the border with Botswana. You can visit San rock art, there is is an interesting link with Jan van Riebeeck, there are Voortrekker sites, you can visit sites relating to both the 1st and 2nd Anglo-Boer Wars, there's WW1 and WW2, there's then 1914...

There’s a particular magic to exploring South Africa by road, where every turn can reveal a story waiting to be understood. Road Trip's Podcast is born from that journey, acting as your audio companion to the rich layers of culture, society, and history you encounter along the way. Rather than just listing destinations, each episode slows down to examine what makes a place significant. We delve into the narratives behind monuments and memorials, giving context to the past so the landscape itself begins to speak. This isn't about generic travel tips; it's about deepening your connection to the country, whether you're planning a holiday or simply curious from afar. The podcast is an extension of the Road Trip mobile app, designed to enrich your physical or imaginative touring. You’ll hear detailed explanations about historical sites, discussions on local culture, and insights that transform a simple drive into a meaningful exploration. Our aim is to make your travel-or the dream of it-more engaging and informed, highlighting the compelling details that often go unnoticed. Tune in for a thoughtful blend of education and discovery, all focused on the incredible texture of South Africa.
