Direct bus from Johannesburg Airport to Mbabane

1/5/2012 10:21:02 PM

From Wikitravel’s Swaziland article:

Most public transport bus services arrive in Mbabane or Manzini.
Smaller bus lines, or minibuses generally provide service to
Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town in South Africa as well as Maputo in
Mozambique.

Larger buses usually travel within the country and some stop at border
crossings, where passengers must connect with an onward journey,
unless a specific group booking is done to hire a big bus.

For scheduled road transport there is the Swaziland based siyeSwatini
TransMagnific, which provides transport to and from Swaziland
daily. Stops include the Johannesburg airport. The TransMagnific
mini-buses are customised for added comfort and safety, unlike the
public transport. However, they require that bookings and payments be
done at least a day prior to travel so that your meal can be ordered
and the selection for the movie can be determined for the +-4hour
trip.

The South African Baz Bus, an independent line targeting
backpackers, also makes regular stops via South Africa to various
hostels and hotels in Swaziland. When traveling into and out of South
Africa to and from Swaziland, this is the safest option. All
mini-buses into South Africa go directly to Johannesburg bus stations,
which can be dangerous.

BAZ BUS used to do one at some point, but it’s more of a private backpacker/shuttle service than scheduled bus.

Any larger scheduled bus services to Swaziland will generally depart from town central, and for the adventurous I guess there would be minibus taxis from taxi ranks nearer the airport. Personally, unless you have a reasonable tolerance for adventure (and good insurance) they may not be ideal.

Car rental is likely to be the easiest, you can get a car with border clearance (remember to get the border clearance documents from the rental company) and a GPS satnav relatively cheaply. The drive isn’t unpleasant, roads aren’t too bad. It takes around 5 hours 30 minutes to drive from Johannesburg to Swaziland.
