Buses: Moving between Cities
  • Tip Rating:
  • A popular means of travelling from city to city is the Baz Bus.
    It operates on a hop on hop off basis whereby you purchase a ticket for a particular route and can get off anywhere along that route - do what you want to do and catch another Baz Bus to continue your journey. There is apparently no time limit on your ticket as well.

    Buses: Go Topless
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best way to orientate yourself in Cape Town is to take the Topless double decker bus that operates on a hop on hop off basis around Cape Town.
    They stop at many of the main tourist spots so you can get off and explore at your own pace.

    Buses: Cape Town Explorer
  • Tip Rating:
  • Transportation in Cape Town can be a problem, Cabs are really expensive and the taxis they have are mini vans FULL of people that everybody says are kind of dangerous (I took them many times and I didn't have any problem...)

    I think this is a nice way of going arround Cape Town at least for the first day, so you can have a general idea of what to see the following day!

    Buses: OPEN TOP TOUR BUS
  • Tip Rating:
  • if its clear go up NOW ! - Cape Town
    if its clear go up NOW !
    by BerniShand

    In common with most major cities in the world there is a hop-on hop-off city sightseeing tour bus here. the service operates two routes - red route and blue route, both of which have 13 stops
    you can buy a combined ticket for both routes but as this is only valid for one day you would not have much time to get off and see any of the sights
    one of the best things about the Red Route is that it takes you up to the cableway on Table Mountain, which is a long trek up if you dont have a car, if the cableway is operating and you havent been up the mountain get off and go up, it might not be open again while you are in Cape Town ! the red route is city based taking you to museums, the Castle and the V&A Waterfront, the blue route takes you further afield, including Hout Bay, Kirstenbosch Botaniv Garden and the Imizamo Yetho Township where a walking Township tour is available
    your ticket gives you discounts on many of the places you stop at, a full days ticket costs R90 for either route, if you do chooce a combined ticket it costs R160
    the tour begins and ends at the Ferrymans Pub on the V&A Waterfront

    Buses: Intercape Mainliner to Windhoek
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best way to go to Windhoek from Capetown is this wonderful modern bus, many miles above the average african standards. You have to check-in your luggage, that goes in a little van behind the main bus. Once inside, you have stewardesses offering you drinks, blankets and "plane-like" facilities.
    It takes nearly 19 hours to arrive. There's no train alternative.
    On the way, the bus stops every 3 hours or so during daytime. Leaves CapeTown at noon and arrives in Windhoek at 6-7 am next day.

    Buses: Refer to a rikki
    If you can avoid taking a taxi. They're not so expensive, but you can spend even less and have some nice talk with the drivers if you take a rikki, that is small buses with a predefined path which can be arranged according to your needs. The driver will pick up people along the road so you'll find in good company.

    Buses: Way2Go airport transfer
    I found them to be the cheapest. Unfortunately, not easy to get when you arrive late at night. There is a airport transfer desk right in the same area as baggage claim and next to the money exchange window.
