At 850 kilometres, Route 62 in South Africa is considered to be the longest wine route in the world. It is the historic inland route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, connecting the east and west coasts of the country. Route 62 passes through the Cape Winelands and the Klein Karoo and is said to be the shorter, more scenic alternative to the N2 highway, and less commercial than the famous Garden Route.
A window to the real South African countryside, Route 62 allows travellers to anticipate adventure, dramatic landscapes, and friendly towns. A postcard perfect journey altogether, Route 62 is one of the road trips in South Africa that should be on your bucket-list if you have a knack for the uncommon.

Save the best for last. For a climactic end to your Route 62 journey, drive along one of the many mountain passes leading out of Oudtshoorn. Here, you will experience unmatched landscapes, guaranteed to surpass the beauty of all prior Route 62 scenery. Not to be missed is a drive along the Swartberg Mountain Pass between Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert. The pinnacle (pun intended) of this journey will be the climb along the dirt road to the appropriately name Die Top vantage point.
Head towards the Town of Wilderness situated in the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains in a region of incomparable beauty. Wilderness is renowned for its vast stretches of beach, its peace and tranquillity and the absence of windswept headlands and wild, stormy seas.

TRAVEL TIPS FOR ROUTE 62
If you plan on visiting specific restaurants, coffee shops or wineries it is best to call ahead and confirm opening/closing times.
If you’re planning to drive along one of the high-altitude mountain passes it is advisable to check the weather forecast before you set out. Road closures due to bad weather are frequent occurrences.
Drives along some of the steeper mountain passes are not for the fainthearted and should not be attempted by nervous drivers.
