Baz Bus is the popular Hop-On Hop-Off bus pass for backpackers in South Africa. The concept is simple: get your bus pass in advance and hop on and off as often as you like along the route. There are 14 stops along the Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, and 14 more stops if you decide to continue all the way up to Johannesburg!

With a bus pass from Baz Bus you'll be picked up and dropped off at the doorstep of your chosen hostel. There are two different passes. There's a Baz Bus Hop-On Hop-Off pass in one direction with a 12-month validity (you can pay extra for a return ticket) OR  Baz Bus Travel Pass in any direction which is time limited (several options available). 

With Baz Bus you travel with other young explorers in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a great option to get around South Africa in a flexible manner, but without driving a rental car yourself. You'll meet new friends on the way, and it's safe!
