  • Boasting sights galore, Middelburg is around 95 mi from Johannesburg. First stop of the day? Head on over to Middelburg Mall, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Around 70 mi away, Potchefstroom is another location worth putting on your road trip itinerary. Check out Potchefstroom Dam while you’re in town.
