O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg and Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town are the two most common entry points for visitors to South Africa. From either city you can get to Camdeboo National Park on an organized tour or a self-drive trip. Some people will drive from Cape Town via the Garden Route over a week or two to Graaff Reinet, the gateway city to the park. The most direct route is 670km/416mi and the drive takes about 8 hours*.

Alternatively, it’s possible to take a connecting flight to Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) and rent a car there. The distance to the park from Port Elizabeth is just over 250km/155mi and the drive takes about 3 hours*.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
