The BazBus travels in each direction between Cape Town and Johannesburg/Pretoria with stops along the coast. It’s a journey taken on a semi-luxury bus, seating only 22 people. This unique travel service uncovers the charm of Mzansi, revealing a diverse nation where you can experience adventure, sport, nature and wildlife. Travellers can visit the Kruger National Park, Table Mountain and heritage sites while also “paying it forward” in communities as they trek across the Garden Route. At the end of the day you can either pitch a tent and camp outside or sleep at a backpacker hostel. The ticket prices differ depending on which route you choose. Whether it’s one-way or return. A single individual can have a 7-day travel pass for R2 100 with an additional R80 fuel levy being added to all ticket prices over R700. Essentially, BazBus offers you a chance to explore your country and appreciate what it has to offer. Inadvertently proving we can always find beauty inside our own borders. After all, South Africa is at the apex of a continent steeped in some of the most beautiful, natural features known to the world. No more questions. Pack a bag! By Mpho Moloele 79 IMBO/ ISSUE 31/ '14
