Customers generally appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, noting that drivers and hosts are kind and accommodating. The overall travel experience is positive with good hygiene measures in place. However, some passengers mentioned delays at borders affecting arrival times, language barriers for communication, non-functional USB ports causing inconvenience, and occasional rudeness from drivers.
The experience has been excellent on other trips. But now I am very disappointed because they cancelled my trip until Friday

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😎
