Driving from Blyde River Canyon to Hluhluwe
Hi,
as part of our trip in South Africa next month, we have planned to drive nonstop from the Blyde River Canyon area to Hluhluwe. However I have noticed that sun sets early in KZN in June, and I prefer to avoid wandering around after dark in Hluhluwe looking for our lodge. Maporama estimates 630 km and 7 hours driving, is it realistic? Or is it better to fly from Nelspruit to Durban and then drive to Hluhluwe? Many thanks in advance -- ishmael |

Many thanks in advance -- ishmael Leave early (7 - 8 am) and then you will be arriving in Hluhluwe way before dark. Route: Nelspruit, Barberton, Pongola etc. Don't go thru Swaziland because then you have two brorder crossings... Hans |

Driving from Blyde River Canyon to Hluhluwe
The roads are in good condition, and you should be able to maintain a
steady 120km/h most of the time 7 hours is a realistic estimate, even if you stop off for a quick lunch along the way.
