About De Aar

De Aar, deep in the Karoo, is where the N10 crosses paths with N12 traffic linking Cape Town and Johannesburg via Britstown. It's a proper railway town, one of the biggest junctions in the Southern Hemisphere, with lines fanning out in six directions. Quick hops to Britstown, Philipstown and Hanover are all under an hour, while Colesberg and Noupoort make for a longer detour. Charging stations are scarce, so top up before you go.
