INTRODUCTION

HOP-ON HOP-OFF - SOUTH AFRICA DOOR TO DOOR!
What is the Baz Bus ?

One of the most significant developments of the backpacking industry in South Africa has to be the Baz Bus, a new concept here but quite well known in many other parts of the world.
Specifically designed for budget travellers and backpackers, the Baz Bus picks them up and drops them off at backpacker hostels or lodges around the country. Unlike the Intercity or Greyhound buses, passengers simply buy one ticket to their final destination and can "Hop-on, Hop-off" wherever and as many times as they like, with no time limit.


PLEASE REFER TO THE ROUTE MAP OF BELOW




SOUTH AFRICA'S CONVENIENT HOP-ON HOP-OFF DOOR-TO-DOOR BACKPACKER BUS

Designed for the independent traveller, THE BAZ BUS is a fantastic way to explore South Africa. The Baz Bus offers independent travellers and backpackers the opportunity to explore the most beautiful towns and cities in South Africa.

All you need is one ticket to your final destination and you can hop on and off as often as you like along the route. We drop you off and pick you up from your backpacking hostel or lodge!

There is an amazing variety of backpacker hostels and budget accommodation offered in South Africa and the Baz Bus will drop you off at over 200 of them.

The Baz Bus is for all backpackers and the young at heart. We strive to be an enjoyable and friendly bus company where you can meet great people on the busses and still have the independence to do whatever activities you wish to along the route. With over 40 towns/cities/villages for backpackers to choose from, their will never be a dull moment!! The Baz Bus experience can help you become a better beach bum, adrenaline junkie, culture vulture, wildlife fundi, party animal or a bit of all.
