How to get out Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg Airport can connect you to all cities in South Africa via Johannesburg. Unfortunately, flights from the airport have recently been plagued by delays following a recent upgrade, so beware of scheduling anything mission critical out of here (such as connecting flights). Durban is only about 50 min drive away, and Durban International Airport can get you direct to Cape Town, East London, Bloemfontein, Mozambique, Swaziland and anywhere else you need to go (with a connecting flight through Johannesburg International.)
In the other direction the Drakensberg Mountains lie about two hours drive away, offering an array of outdoor activities, with plenty of resorts and the like dotted around.
Just 20 min out of Pietermaritzburg, the town of Howick offers a small touristic place with the Howick Falls as the highlight.
Johannesburg is about 600 km away via the N3 highway. Cape Town is much farther, about 2000 km.
