Backpackers are advised to get hold of
cheap travel insurance before heading out to South Africa's network of youth hostels.
According to monstersandcritics.com, South Africa is building a steady international reputation for a network of cheap youth hostels which provide ideal accommodation for young people and budget travellers. In addition, backpacker transport service Baz Bus runs between Johannesburg and Cape Town and offers rides to pretty much every destination of note in the region.
Cecilia De Freitas, sales manager of Baz Bus, told the website: "Our customers are flexible. They themselves decide where they want to go, and we take them there. Our main customers are backpacking tourists from Europe."
Baz Bus vehicles can take 19 passengers and ticket prices start at $126. In addition the service takes travellers to the door of their hostel as a matter of routine safety.
Travellers should consider buying
gap year travel insurance to make sure they're covered against the range of activities listed in the South African guidebook Coast to Coast.
