About Sideroads Africa

Sideroads Africa is a free South Africa road-trip planner for iconic drives, curated stops, and custom A to B itineraries.

Why we built this

Road trips are how we make sense of Africa — not airport-to-lodge transfers, but cooler-box miles, padstal coffee, and the side road that becomes the best part of the day.

Padkos sits on the same map as passes and parks. Iconic routes give you a spine; custom trips let you wander.
