O carro atrasou mais de uma hora. Poderiam melhorar nas previsões de chegada, para evitar longos períodos de espera

What I enjoyed most - Check in was well organised; The bus was on schedule. What I did not enjoy: The waiting bay was tiny, some people waiting outside under the sun. Could just imagine the worst under the rain.

Everything was fine. Only the pick up place in nelspruit is very unsafe! In the time we have to wait close by multiple locals have been robbed at the pick up place. Some very helpful and friendly people made sure we were safe but if they didn’t help us we had missed the bus because we lost all our stuff and maybe be abused. Will recommend to change the pick up location to a safer place.
