In South Africa, driving is on the left-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in South Africa are generally 60 km/h in urban areas, 100 km/h on secondary roads, and 120 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

Fuel stations are readily available in cities and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.

It's also important to be aware that South African roads can vary in condition. While highways are typically well-maintained, rural and mountainous roads may be narrow and less well-kept. During the rainy season, road conditions can deteriorate, and visibility can decrease, so extra caution is advised. Additionally, watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and livestock on the road, as they are common sights, especially outside urban areas.

For a more enjoyable and safe driving experience, familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, and consider renting a 4x4 if you plan to explore rural or off-road areas, as they offer better handling on rough terrains. Remember, patience and careful planning can greatly enhance your driving experience in South Africa.

If you need help while in South Africa, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 112.
