Powered by the Confidence of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T002
Summer begins the moment your tyres meet the open road. The soft shhhh of rubber on warm tar. The playlist that becomes a memory. The detour that turns into a story. Across South Africa, the landscapes shift like pages in a book – coastlines, canyons, passes, and plains – each inviting you to wander a little further.
The new Bridgestone Dueler A/T002 is built for these summer wanderings. With plush on-road comfort and true all-terrain capability, it offers confidence on every surface: smooth tar, corrugated gravel, and even those sandy shortcuts you take on a whim. Before you set off, a quick stop at your nearest Supa Quick ensures your tyres and your journey are ready for whatever the weekend brings.
Here are five drives where freedom, beauty, and adventure wait patiently around each bend.
1. Waterberg Meander – Limpopo
2.5 to 3 hours from Johannesburg | Bushveld, mountain passes and wild horizons
North of Johannesburg, the Waterberg rises like an ancient fortress. Red ridges, open plains, and a hush that settles deep into your bones. The Meander drifts through private reserves and quiet gravel roads, where antelope flicker between trees and sandstone cliffs glow in the afternoon light.
Why It’s Worth the Drive
Smooth gravel, sweeping vistas, and the A/T002’s reassuring grip make every curve feel effortless.
Moments to Savour
Game drives under golden skies in Welgevonden or Marakele, horseback safaris through whispering grass, spa decks overlooking the savannah, and dinners beneath constellations that feel close enough to touch.
Where to Stay
- Ant’s Hill Lodge – luxury bush villas perched above a private reserve.
- Moon River Mountain Retreat – secluded, romantic, and perfect for travellers looking to disconnect
Nearest Supa Quick: Polokwane, Bela-Bela, Modimolle for those pre-trip checks or tyre support en route.
2. West Coast Flower Route – Western Cape
Darling to Namaqualand | Coastal tar & inland gravel blooms
Even outside flower season, the West Coast feels like a love letter to simplicity. Salted air, weathered boats, white dunes, and roads that stretch toward the horizon. When the wildflowers bloom, it becomes a dreamscape painted in purples, yellows, and creams.
Why It’s Worth the Drive
Glide along coastal tar, then slip onto gravel ribbons to chase the blooms – the A/T002 smooths the journey, no matter the terrain.
Moments to Savour
Wildflowers swaying in Postberg and Namaqua National Park, olives and wine tasting in Darling, kayaks drifting across Langebaan’s blue lagoon.
Where to Stay
- Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel – quiet coastal luxury in Paternoster
- Namaqua Flower Camps – seasonal glamping immersed in colour
- Thali Game Lodge – rustic West Coast charm with wildlife
Nearest Supa Quick: Vredenburg, Malmesbury, Cape Town for pre-drive road readiness.
3. Swartberg Pass & Meiringspoort – Western Cape
Prince Albert to De Rust | Mountain drama & sculpted gorges
Few roads hold the drama of the Swartberg Pass – gravel hairpins carved into towering red cliffs, the sky widening with every turn. Its neighbour, Meiringspoort, is gentler: a smooth tar ribbon through folded rock and echoing riverbeds.
Why It’s Worth the Drive
The A/T002 embraces the Pass’s rugged bends and glides quietly along Meiringspoort’s tar.
Moments to Savour
Swimming beneath waterfalls in Meiringspoort, exploring the Cango Caves and local ostrich farms or capturing the sandstone cliffs as they catch fire at sunset before enjoying the lantern-lit Karoo nights.
Where to Stay
- Dennehof Karoo Guesthouse – historic and homely
- Swartberg Country Manor – at the foot of the pass
- Karoo View Cottages – self-catering hideaways with vast horizons
Nearest Supa Quick: Oudtshoorn and George for gravel-route tyre checks and support.
4. Route 62 – Western Cape
Cape Town to Port Elizabeth | Vineyards, small towns & soulful roads
Route 62 is the kind of journey that feels like a long, warm conversation with the landscape. Vineyards, koppies, quirky towns, and farm stalls blur into a tapestry of small-town hospitality and big-sky beauty.
Why It’s Worth the Drive
The A/T002 floats along the tarred stretches and invites gravel detours to hidden wineries and mountain viewpoints.
Moments to Savour
Wine tasting in Robertson and Calitzdorp, art in Barrydale, hot springs in Montagu, and the simple pleasure of an unexpected roadside stop at small-town farm stalls.
Where to Stay
- Sanbona Wildlife Reserve – a luxury wilderness escape
- Montagu Country Hotel – iconic art deco elegance
- Karoo Art Hotel – creative, quirky, and full of character
Nearest Supa Quick: Worcester, George, Somerset West for peace-of-mind checks before hitting the road.
5. Panorama Route – Mpumalanga
Blyde River Canyon & Drakensberg Escarpment | Waterfalls & green vistas
The Panorama Route feels like a revelation—deep canyons, mist-touching forests, waterfalls that echo through the cliffs, and viewpoints where the world seems to stretch forever.
Why It’s Worth the Drive
From smooth mountain passes to gravel near the waterfalls, the A/T002 offers steady handling, soft braking, and an unhurried ride.
Moments to Savour
God’s Window, Three Rondavels, Lisbon and Berlin Falls hikes, the Graskop Gorge Lift, and forest trails perfect for quiet picnics.
Where to Stay
- Misty Mountain Lodge – misty forests and log-fire evenings
- Graskop Hotel – artistic and boutique
- Blyde River Canyon Lodge – nature at your doorstep
Nearest Supa Quick: Nelspruit, Hazyview, Hoedspruit – ideal for tyre checks before the escarpment climbs.
Confidence Comes Standard
Wherever summer pulls you, coast, canyon, Karoo, the Bridgestone Dueler A/T002 turns every kilometre into something softer, smoother, more certain. And with over 200 Supa Quick stores nationwide, road-trip readiness is always close at hand.
This summer, choose journeys worth the drive, and tyres made for them.
