As well as an unbeatable safety record, Bazbus is also famous for its punctuality and comfort. In Africa, where things often run later than scheduled, we are very proud to say we achieve a 98.5% on-time arrival for each trip.
If comparing Bazbus to other bus companies, check their safety record, past accidents, and their Tripadvisor page (if they even bother to have one) as often you will find there is a reason why some bus companies have “lower” prices than Bazbus.
All trips are weather and tide dependent and launch times may vary accordingly from those stated
Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed; however, the team will do everything possible to show you as many of the Marine Big 5 as possible.
