Convenient and Comfortable Service - I found the BazBus to be reliable, on time, comfortable, and especially loved the door to door service from/to my accommodation along the Garden Route. The major downside is the limited schedule (once a day in each spot), but I was able to work around this with my tourism activities and all in all the pros far outweighed the cons. I'd definitely use the service again next time I'm in South Africa.

Good experience - An excellent chance to explore the garden route. Only one time, the bus was nearly full, but mostly you can use the two seats in a row. The drivers were all friendly and helpful, I could even arrange flexible drop-off locations. I'm sure I will do this again when I come back to SA.

Baz Bus - most convenient and safe way to travel. - Baz Bus - most convenient way to travel in South Africa. We used BasBuz for the second time on our extended stays in South Africa. Whether you choose the tours or to travel the garden route you will experience excellent service, from trip planning at the office to the drivers on the road. We were always well looked after, picked up from one accommodation and dropped off at another. They also stop for a coffee break. We find this the most convenient way to travel, as you don’t need a car since tours can be arranged from your accommodation, They also offer choice of accommodation stops depending on your budgets, backpacker, flashpacker or hotels. The buses are 13 seater, so you might want to book your seat ahead as it was always full when we use them. We also met lots of other interesting travellers on our journey.

Amazing company to visit the garden route - We wanted to visit the garden road, and Bazbus was amazing for us. The system of hop up whenever we want what all we were looking for. All the drivers were cool. Big up to M. Mawanda for the big part of trip. I recommend at 100% this company to visit easily the garden road.

Solo female travel (safe and reliable) - The rides were on time and efficient. It’s a great way to get along the Garden Route especially solo female travel. It’s a good way to meet people and have a bit of safety with door to door service. I did stay at different places that aren’t listed on the places you can stay- just make your way to a pick up! Drivers were happy and helpful. Brian was my driver most of the time and he was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend the Baz Bus. Good experience for overall.
