About Bloemfontein

Bloem sits smack on the N1, halfway between Jozi and Cape Town, with the N8 cutting through to Kimberley and Lesotho. It's the judicial capital, so plenty of legal traffic, but also a stopover for long hauls to PE or Nelspruit. Locals nip out to Mangaung or Brandfort for day trips. Airport's just 10 km from town, and if you're driving electric, there are about 8 fast chargers around. Don't miss Naval Hill, with its big Mandela statue and mini game reserve right in the city.
