Our BMW 320i for the next four days. Powered by a 2.0 litre turbo inline-4 outputting 135kW through an 8-speed gearbox.


Our plan for the next four days was to drive east to Swaziland and spend two nights at Mkhaya Game Reserve before heading south-west back into South Africa and down to Maliba Lodge in Lesotho on day 3. On day 4 we would cross back into South Africa and drive west to the city of Bloemfontein and catch a flight to continue our trip to Cape Town.


We were on the road by 11:30am and on the highway east to Swaziland.


Stopping to pay the 45 rand toll.
