Getting around Pietermaritzburg next month

I'm heading to Pietermaritzburg next month and trying to figure out the best way to get around. Should I rely on minibus taxis or is Uber reliable there?

honestly minibus taxis are a vibe if you know where ur going and can handle the chaos, but for a visitor they're a headache unless you've got a local friend to guide you. uber is solid for most of the main areas like the city centre, boshoff street, and even up to chase valley, but it gets iffy after 9pm or if you're heading into the townships. if you're here for a week, just grab a rental from the airport or the one on commercial road, it's like R300 a day and you'll have way more freedom to hit places like the botanical gardens or a quick drive up to howick falls

Uber works fine in the city centre and Cleland area but gets spotty closer to Edendale or Imbali. Minibus taxis are cheap and everywhere but they have fixed routes and can be chaotic if you don't know the stops. Honestly if you're only here for a week just stick with Uber or rent a car from the airport, it'll save you time and confusion
