BAZBUS what an amazing experience, best way to discover S. AFRICA!!
“We had 4 weeks in South Africa and wanted to do and see as much as possible. I looked at renting a car with my friend, but with so many other factors to consider (parking, navigating, driving at night, fuel stops, breakdowns…etc) we decided to do the Garden Route with Bazbus and I am so glad we did. Had 3 different drivers all friendly and helpful – best was Brian – so funny! Made great friends on the bus and saw everything we wanted and quite a bit more. Superb. Thanks Bazbus!!”
