Great experience, comfortable journey. Drivers communicate well during the journey making sure we are well aware of our break times. I would take a trip with Intercape again.

There was rain water getting into the bus. Busses need thorough inspection before it embark on a trip.
As for the drivers, they were excellent and they deserve 5* rating.

The trip was OK however, We recommend that there should be two drivers incase of unforseen circumstances. When we stop we buy food and sometimes that can affect the drivers well being so if there's two drivers the other can take over
