Hi all,

 

Leaving for Punda Maria early Saturday morning. Thought of going via Polokwane and Tzaneen. Any thoughts, other ideas would be appreciated. Any road works etc., I must look out for?

 

Cheers,

Dave

Enjoy it, Dave
Watch out for changing speed limits on R71 through villages as you leave Polokwane on way to Moria
Regards

Hi Dave,

Road's open all the way with no roadworks. Tzaneen is certainly the scenic road, quickest and fastest will be Polokwane, Mooketsi, Giyani, Malamulele, Punda Maria.

If you see a "Paramedic" Land Cruiser 76, stop me and we'll have coffee

Safe drive

Try this route. I did in in 2012 – good road (most is new)

Thanks guys,

 

Any suggestion as to where to fill up before the Punda  Gate. Don’t want to risk Punda Maria being short on fuel.

 

Cheers,

Dave

Have NEVER had a problem getting fuel at Punda

But just fill up at any of the stations along the route, well travelled roads up to Giyani (big town) where you turn north

Shop and fuel LHS a few km before Punda gate IIRC.  Agree that Punda not run out of fuel.
