Translux is one of the most reliable operators for bus travellers seeking to travel across the country at reasonable prices. The company serves many cities, both on short and long distance routes, from Cape Town to the cities of Paarl and Worcester or Stellenbosch, George and Plettenberg Bay, but also from Durban to Pretoria or from Johannesburg in Cape Town. You can book all your trips online.

There is only one airport in Cape Town, with an international and a domestic terminal. It takes between 20 and 30 minutes to reach the airport from the centre. Just under an hour when the motorway is busy, via the N2, exit 18. Inside: cash dispensers, exchange offices, restaurants, tourist office kiosk, car rental agencies. Wi-fi. See Vodacom/MTN for the purchase of local SIM cards.

This is a cheaper option for longer trips and for solo travellers who want to share the Rikki. Here the prices are fixed, per person and depending on the destination. Please note that the more the trips are shared, the longer they are, because you have to take into account the time spent on detours. Beware, Rikki's are not flown like a classic bus, you have to book and wait between 5 and 10 minutes. You will find special yellow phones in many bars and backpackers to order them.

MyCiti provides a direct connection from the airport to the city centre. There are several routes: L102 to District Six, Woodstock, L106 and L107 to Civic Center - Garden's - Camp's Bay. There are two lines connecting the Civic Center and the entire City Bowl, L108 and 109 Civic Center Sea Point - Hout Bay, L105 Civic Center - Sea Point, L104 Civic Center - Waterfront - Gree Point - Sea Point. Please note: you have to buy a card in the Shoprite or Pick n Pay shops and put credit on it to be able to get on the bus.

With the Cape Town Aerial Metro, you can travel safely during the day to Simon's Town by stopping at the waterfront. To Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek. Another line passes through Bellville and branches off either to Stellenbosch or to Paarl and Wellington. The stations are central and you can walk to the points of interest or the beach. This is a good option for those who do not have a car and want to see the surroundings of Cape Town at their own pace and without spending too much money. Count 1 hour from Cape Town to Simon's Town. Not recommended after 7pm.

Cape Town is a large city, and distances can be quite long from one point to another. In addition, most tourism professionals and locals will tell you: take a cab! Once the evening comes, it is not always safe to walk or wait for the bus, so we call a reliable company, present everywhere in the city: Intercab. This agency also offers sightseeing tours in the peninsula and along the wine route if you are interested.

The Blue Train is one of the most luxurious machines in the world. It makes the round trip between Pretoria and Cape Town eight times a month. The journey takes 28 hours and covers 1,600 km, with a stopover in Kimberley and a visit to the Open Mine Museum in one direction and the town of Matjiesfontein in the other. Another destination is Kruger and Limpopo for a "rail safari" through the country's magnificent national parks. A unique and sumptuous journey through spectacular South African landscapes at a pleasant cruising speed.

This private company provides minibuses that carry backpacker youths on backpackers. Practice if you travel alone and don't have too much time or money. You have the security to arrive at the scheduled port, you don't pay extra taxis to go to the hotel and enjoy the landscape. The Baz Bus connects Johannesburg to Durban, then Durban to Cape along the coast, both in both directions. The principle: you buy a ticket for a limited period - a week (2 600 R) or two (4 100 R) - and you stop where and when you want, without turning around, on the chosen path. Be careful, stop at Port Elizabeth, Durban and Swaziland because the Baz Bus does not ride at night.
