Is it possible to get from Johannesburg to Cathedral Peak in 1 day using public transport?
I want to go from
- Johannesburg to Harrismith using Greyhound or similar bus company (leaving early in the morning and arriving midday),
- From Harrismith to Bergville using a minibus-taxi,
- And finally from Bergville to Cathedral Peak using a minibus-taxi / hitch-hiking arriving before the Cathedral Peak office closes (at 19h00).
Is this possible ?
Best Answer
From Bergville, you probably have to rely on the kindness of strangers, but from Johannesburg to Bergville should not be a problem.
One option is to take the Joburg to Durban train and get off in Ladysmith (at 2:45am). Another is to take the 8:15am Greyhound to Harrismith, which is scheduled to arrive at 11:25am. That should be early enough to get you to Bergville, but I don't know where the combis leave from in Harrismith.
