Compare 2 ways to go from Johannesburg to Empangeni
We recommend taking the bus
Among the sustainable travel choices, the bus stands out as the good way to reach Empangeni. The journey takes about 10 hours 30 minutes and with fares starting at just $24, it presents an excellent value for a comfortable ride.
Passengers have shared positive experiences, highlighting the drivers' professionalism and safe driving skills. The journeys were generally on time with friendly staff contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. However, some users noted issues such as insufficient breaks during long trips, uncomfortable seating near toilets, bus changes without notice, and non-functional charging ports.
In these times of living we use phones as means of communication but the charging points on the bus are usb cable for charging but does not cater for c-type cables. I have travelled on city to city bus from Joburg to Durban and it catered for both charging ports c-type and usb.
