It’s really not that difficult to go on a great road trip in South Africa.

All you have to do is hop in your car, fill it up with petrol and other necessary supplies, and set out into the platteland with the wind in your hair and a poor sense of direction.

This country has everything on offer, from quirky one-horse dorpies to pristine coastlines, endless veld and historical landmarks. But if you were to go on the ultimate road trip around South Africa, how would that pan out?

Well, recruiting the help of Google will only result in a list of the ol’ faithfuls – the Garden Route, the Wild Coast, the panoramic route – but there’s not really much that’s fresh.

So, to find out the answer, you have been invited to suggest your favourite South African road trip destination for the #UltimateJourneySA.

It’s the place you would recommend above all others, the place that, no matter how many times you visit, takes your breath away each and every time. Or, maybe it’s that one place you have always wanted to visit.

Not only will your “pro tip” help design the #UltimateJourneySA, but you also stand the chance of winning a road trip of your own.

Simply add your favourite location to the Ultimate Journey Map and encourage your friends to vote for it. If the destination is already there, make sure you vote for your favourite and you stand a chance of winning, too.

The prize? A South African road trip for up to four people, valued at R50 000.

Easy as pie.

South Africa’s Ultimate Road Trip will then be created based on the amount of votes a location has received. The top 25 to 30 voted locations will make up SA’s Ultimate Journey.

This is what it’s looking like at the moment:

Not too shabby – you can pop over here to check out what the top locations are.

If you disagree with that list, you should probably get over here now and vote to make a difference.

Here’s what you need to know about winning:

Every person that adds a location and (or) votes for any location will be in the draw to win the prize.

Every person who takes part will only have one ticket into the draw irrespective of how many locations they have loaded or how many destinations they have voted for

The prize? A South African road trip for up to four people, valued at R50 000.

Casual.

The campaign comes to an end on August 31, so get voting ASAP.

We really cannot have Sun City as the Top location for a road trip (yes, it’s sitting at number one) and make your vote count.
