The trip was good and we got to mozambique safely. The drivers are very rude and left me at the wrong stop. I am a tourist and would have really appreciate there help because I don't know the area.

The overall experience was good but the seat I was at, the USB charging port was not working so I had to use the next seat's charging port, which was uncomfortable for other passengers. But the overall experience was amazing😎
