Tips for booking in South Africa

  • Book a few days ahead on popular routes and in high season — night trains and island ferries often sell out.
  • Check the pick-up point in the ticket details: it may be a bus station, train station, pier or agent office.
  • Keep the ticket on your phone and carry your original passport; some operators require the name to match.
