Baz Bus in Cape Town: The Best Way to See Cape Peninsula

Created by Barry Zeidel back in 1995, Baz Bus is South Africa’s most convenient hop-on-hop-off bus service and the best way to explore the country. During his travels around Europe as a backpacker, Barry was fascinated with the bus services for backpackers that allow easy access to various destinations. After he came back to Africa from his trip around Europe, he decided to do some research and start his own bus service for travelers who wish to explore South Africa at their own pace.
