Once you are there, both private airlines and the national carrier offer efficient air services between major South African cities.

By Road
the entire country is comprehensively covered by road transport. All the major roots are well organized and luxury coaches link all main cities. Travel companies offer a variety of coach tours around the country. The high petrol rates may pinch, but the roads are generally in good condition. International driving license is compulsory in South Africa. Make sure that the license contains the photograph and the signature of the holder. You also have to obtain an International Driving Permit before your departure for South Africa. Driving is on the left of the road. speed limits are 120 km/h on the highways and 60 km/h in built-up areas. Local and International car hire companies offer a range of high-quality vehicles to suit all needs and budgets. However in most cases, payment for fuel is in cash.

By Train
The national train service is called Spoornet and several cities such as Durban, Bloomfontein, Cape Town, East London, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth and Kimberley are linked by rail. The Spoornet is quite efficient, with 1^st and 2^nd class, sleepers for overnight services and meals on board. South Africa still operates those grand vestiges from the history of transport - steam locomotives. The steam locomotive experience may not appeal to those who see travel as a way of getting from point A to B, but die-hard enthusiasts swear by it. Popular services include the "Pride of Africa" and narrow gauge railways like the Midmar Steam Railway near Pietermaritzburg. The famous Outeniqua Choo Tjoe that chugs and coos between George and Knysna is uncomperable for the scenery it passes through.
