Does my Baz Bus ticket include accommodation?
Your Baz Bus ticket does not include accommodation. There are hotel/hostel pickup and drop offs at every stop.
Should I book my accommodation in advance?
Most people prefer to play it by ear and book hostels as they go along. During the busy summer season some places do get full and we do recommend booking a few days in advance, especially for double rooms.
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.
Our buses are 16-seater semi-luxury buses with trailers capable of carrying surfboards and bicycles.
Your Baz Bus Hop-on Hop-off ticket does not include meals. The Baz Bus does stop at various places along the way, giving you the chance to stretch your legs and purchase any snacks or meals.
Am I too old to take Baz Bus?
Baz Bus is for all the young at heart. We strive to be an enjoyable and friendly bus company, where you can meet great people on the buses and still have the independence to do whatever activities you wish on route. If you feel young, Baz Bus experience can help you become a better beach bum, adrenaline junkie, culture vulture, wildlife fundi, party animal or a bit of all.
Is it safe and viable for me to travel alone in Southern Africa?

What do I do once I have bought my ticket?
