DOOR-TO-DOOR BACKPACKER BUS SERVICE

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!

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 buses and still have the independence to do whatever activities you wish to along the route.

The Baz Bus is completely flexible...

You choose where you want to visit and how long you want to stay.

Convenient backpacking...

There are over 180 backpacking hostels & lodges to select from and more than 40 cities, towns or villages to visit en route.

Safe travel...

We pick you up and drop you off at your hostel door so you don't have to lug heavy bags between bus and train stations or get lost in strange towns at night

and there's no time limit on your ticket!

With no time limit on your ticket, you choose the pace. You can travel as fast or as slowly as you like.

Meet interesting people...

Sit back, relax and share travel tales with loads of other independent travellers.

Get on-board information...

Our information files tell you what's hot and what's not, where to go and who to go with...

Reach out of the way places...

Private shuttles meet the Baz Bus and run you to inaccessible areas.

And space is no problem...

Our 18 seater VW Crafters have trailers so there's plenty of space for people, surfboards and guitars.
