Big Sky Kimberley Bloemfontein recent customer reviews
I enjoyed my journey, the bus was peaceful, the drivers were also good with us and we arrived very early before the estimated arrival time.
My only challenge was the bus nearly left us, we were given 05:55 AM, by 05:40 when I arrived they said I am very late and I almost found it gone
