Drive from Johannesburg to Tshwane (Pretoria)

Head out of ‘Jozy’ and make your way to Tshwane (Pretoria), a town much more low-key than Johannesburg but still full of adventure. It’s only a 45-minute (under 60 kilometres) drive via the N1 highway. Tshwane is the administrative capital of South Africa, where, in springtime, 40,000 jacaranda trees bloom and turn the city into a purple paradise – hence its nickname Jacaranda City. Upon arrival, you can either check into your hotel and unwind after the long flight or head out to explore the city!
