Getting Around
The N1 national route that links Cape Town and
Johannesburg passes right through Beaufort West.
The N9, which connects Graaff-Reinet to the
Southern Cape coast, branches off the N1 at
Colesberg. Cradock and the nearby Mountain
Zebra National Park to the west of the town are
located on the N10. Tarred provincial roads connect
most of the smaller villages, allowing visitors to
explore the more remote parts of the region.
Although distances are great, the volume of traffic
is moderate and many of the Karoo towns have
Ostrich in the Mountain Zebra National Park comfortable bed and breakfast establish ments and
restaurants. The long-distance bus companies stop
Upington in Beaufort West, Graaff-Reinet and Cradock.
