Here are the main ways to get around Africa.
For those travellers who feels a little intimidated about backpacking Africa independently, or a short on time and want to be spared the hassle, there are organized overland safari tours that make traveling in Africa easy.
The Baz Bus is a hop on, hop off style transportation company organized to help backpackers and travelers get around South Africa in comfort.
Public buses (USD$3-$32) are usually taken for longer journeys and across borders where there is a good network of sealed roads. The buses are generally comfortable, safe and spacious.
Mini-vans are a very cheap way to get around, and are usually taken for up to 6 hour journeys within a country (usually around USD$1-$10).
Pickups are cheap (usually not much more than USD$2) and tend to go a lot slower, traveling more on the smaller rural or village roads. I appreciated pickup travel a lot more than mini vans.
