It is safe enough through the transkei . Just stay out of Umtata . Chaos there..Every where else is fine .

William the Transkei is as safe as anywhere else in S.A. Just keep to the speed limits and all doors and widows locked at all times.I travell there every every other day but am SUPER VIGILANT .In fact I was in Umtata yesterday without incident.
Enjoy your trip.

Re: Baboons Pass to Durban
Hi I would suggest you come from Baboons to Semonkong then Qachas Nek and from there to Matatiele on to Kokstad, Harding, Port Shepstone and through to Durban. this should take roughly 8 hours

Another awesome route is Thabo Tseka - Mashai - sehonghong - over Matebeng pass down to sehlabathebe go through Ramasediso border down towards Swartberg - kokstad -Bizana -Port Edward -Durban .
The road from Thabo Tseka is a fantastic scenic drive through to Ramas Gate . Your Navigational skills I hope are up to scratch . I winged it with no Maps . Just remembered names and asked locals . Only had 1 tank of fuel . I would take extra though ..
Enjoy
