I really recommend Bazbus for traveling the Garden Route! I was traveling alone as a woman, but I had no worries at all!
I was worried because there were few reviews from users after COVID-19, but they are still operating!
Until late April, they operated every day, but from late April, they reduced the number of services to 5 days a week in 2024. However, because it was the off-season, I was able to make a reservation the day before, and I was able to sit comfortably inside the car.
There were times when I was alone, so I was grateful that they operated even with a small number of people!
They also took time to take breaks on the way, such as at stylish bakeries and malls.
The pickup in Cape Town was on time, and after that, they came to pick me up about an hour before the schedule. (It's OK because I prefer to travel early!)
When I arrived at the accommodation, the driver saw me off until I entered the accommodation, so I felt safe even if I arrived after dark.
It was door-to-door, so it was nice to be able to carry heavy water and food with me.
It was easy to purchase online and change the schedule myself, and when I inquired by whatsapp, I received a quick reply and was polite, which was also nice.
Many people only visit Cape Town, but the Garden Route is also wonderful, so I recommend taking the time to travel on the Bazbus!
Stellenbosch, Hermanus, and Plettenberg Bay were particularly great!

I had an amazing experience with the BazBus. All the drivers were so so friendly, I felt super safe and secure! I met lovely people on the bus and for me as a solo traveler it was the perfect experience! Communication and booking was easy and friendly. I can highly recommend traveling with the BazBus!

We booked the BazBus Hop-on Hop-off tour very spontaneously without knowing what exactly to expect.
During our 13-day trip, we were not only served with reliable service, but also with extraordinary friendliness and helpfulness. The drivers are in good contact with the hostels so we could always be sure when they arrived, which is very convenient.
On the bus you always meet travelers you have already met, as well as the drivers who give you a warm welcome. The driver King Elvis (yes, Elvis is alive in SA) played us some German music as we were driving for the second time with him.
BazBus was such a good time, we could sit back, relax and see everything we wanted to without the hassle of renting an own car. 100% recommend!!!

I would definitely recommend using Bazbus! It's an easy way to travel long distances while sitting comfortable and enjoying the view.
All drivers (especially King Elvis) are super nice, considerate and helpful. It's so much fun traveling with all of them and to meet new people

We travelled on Bazbus in November and December 2023 for about 5 weeks using the hop-on / hop-off service, as well as taking a day trip to the Cape Pensinsula. I highly recommend this company. They were nearly always incredibly punctual, or early, and, if the bus was running slightly late due to traffic or other unpredictable hold-ups, someone would phone the pick-up accomodation to let us know. We were a bit worried about turning up in some places at night but the bus driver (or drivers) would make sure that we got into our accomodation safely before departing.
We chose Bazbus because we didn't have to worry about getting lost or breaking down in a car and this really was the ideal hassle free, and relaxed, alternative to travelling along this route.
When eating out at night most places in SA, getting transport home is usually suggested. Taxis (which actually have a different meaning in SA and so are called shuttles) or Uber / Bolt are easy to find, cheap and considered safe in most places, although we always checked safety concerns and taxi recommendations with the accomodation where we were staying, so it's always possible to get a taxi back from a restaurant. We, however, chose to stay near restaurants and get home before dark. If you decided not to stay at the pick-up points then, again, we always found it easy and cheap to get a taxi.
The drivers, without exception, were all excellent, professional, friendly and considerate. The two drivers that we particularly remember, and are grateful to, for making our trip so enjoyable, easy and comfortable were Brian, who generally drives between Knysna and Cape Town, and King Elvis who usually drives the Port Elizabeth to Knysna stretch.
The office team were nearly always on hand to answer questions promptly and the customer service was truly excellent, always approachable and always sorting out any concerns we had in a way that left this part of our holiday entirely hassle free.

The drivers are the best !
I was supposed to go in an guesthouse in Port Elizabeth but the guy from the accomodation was super strange. The driver from the BazBus stayed with me and help me with this bad situation and then he took me to a better accomodation. He really save my night! Thank you Mzi !

I'm more than happy to write this review 😊! My partner and I travelled with Baz Bus from Cape Town to PE and back.
Coming from Switzerland ⌚ we were highly impressed by
. their always being on time
. the spacious and comfortable busses
. the safe driving
. the charismatic drivers (above all Brian and King Elvis 👑)
. their strong personalities enabling them to interact with the passengers
. their enthusiastic way of telling us about the Western and Eastern Cape 💫
. and so much more!
Sometimes it felt like having a private chauffeur. 😍
Travelling with Baz Bus was an important part of our fabulous South African experience.
Our first and last journey was with Brian - thank you soooo much!
