Home · Long Distance · Johannesburg to Durban
Premium, fully managed relocations from Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gauteng to Durban and the KwaZulu-Natal coast — committed delivery dates, sealed and tracked loads, and a dedicated relocation manager from your Gauteng door to your new home by the sea.
The Johannesburg to Durban move is one of the busiest relocation routes in South Africa — and one we run constantly. At roughly 570 kilometres down the N3, the journey from Gauteng to the KwaZulu-Natal coast descends from the Highveld through Harrismith and the Van Reenen’s Pass into the warm, humid subtropics of Durban. It is a route that demands experienced drivers and properly secured loads, both of which Relocation Masters provides as standard.
Whether you are relocating for the lifestyle of Umhlanga and the Dolphin Coast, a transfer to the Durban port and logistics sector, or a family move to the leafy suburbs of the Berea and the Upper Highway area, we manage the entire relocation. From your first survey anywhere in Gauteng to careful placement in Durban North, Westville or La Lucia, your move is led by one dedicated relocation manager.
We bring the discretion of a premium residential relocation together with the logistics discipline that a 570 km coastal move requires — delivered on a date you can actually plan around.
Every Durban relocation includes a complete suite of services so nothing is left to chance:
We professionally wrap and protect your furniture, crate fragile and high-value pieces, load in a sequence built for the long N3 descent, and seal the truck at your Gauteng door. The coast’s humidity makes proper wrapping especially important — leather, timber and electronics are protected accordingly so they arrive in Durban exactly as they left.
From full family homes and beachfront apartments to corporate offices and individual high-value items, we move it all to KZN. Pianos, antiques, art, gym equipment, safes and IT equipment are flagged at survey and given specialist handling, crating and insurance. If your Durban home isn’t ready yet, our managed storage bridges the gap with a full inventory and re-delivery on your chosen date.
An in-home or video survey produces a transparent, fixed quotation for your Joburg–Durban move.
We pack, protect and load at your Gauteng home, then seal the load for the N3.
Your goods travel on a tracked vehicle with a delivery date agreed in writing.
We deliver, place furniture, reassemble beds and unpack at your new Durban address.
The Johannesburg to Durban drive is roughly 6 hours, so delivery is often quick — frequently the day after collection on a dedicated truck, or within a flexible window on a cost-effective shared load. Either way you receive a committed delivery date in writing and updates en route.
We relocate clients across the metro and the coast — Umhlanga, La Lucia, Durban North, the Berea, Morningside, Glenwood, Westville, the Upper Highway (Hillcrest, Kloof, Waterfall), Amanzimtoti and the South Coast, plus the Dolphin Coast up to Ballito.

It depends on your volume, whether you choose a dedicated or shared load, and add-ons like packing and storage. After a quick survey we give you a transparent, fixed quotation — request one online or call 087 550 1739.
