Big Sky Kimberley Bloemfontein recent customer reviews
I enjoyed my journey, the bus was peaceful, the drivers were also good with us and we arrived very early before the estimated arrival time.
My only challenge was the bus nearly left us, we were given 05:55 AM, by 05:40 when I arrived they said I am very late and I almost found it gone

The bus was late by 1h30min and no massage was sent to me, just to let me know that there's a problem with a bus. But all in all I had a goo trip and the Bus arrived in Bloemfontein within thr estimated time.

From Kimberley it was very lovely and comfortable.
From Bloem it was extremely late but manage to arrive safely in East London. The East London office opened but didn't allow me in saying they not open yet, so after all the delay as I wait for my transport had to sit in the cold.
