South Africa's only convenient hop-on hop-off door-to-door backpackers bus service to over 180 hostels in over 50 cities and towns ??
Backpacking , hostelling, independent travelling or just doing it yourself in Africa,
has really rapidly grown up in the few years since this service was started. From hostels
that had never seen a computer, to today's ones that are wired for the internet, even when
hidden away miles from the madding crowds.
BUT the important questions still remain as to , HOW, WHAT, WHERE and WHEN.
So we are still here to provide you with as much information as possible - FOR FREE .
Our ethic has however not changed at all, you will still find us at the following major domains, and a few mirrors <smile>:
http://www.backpacking.co.za
or http://just.backpacking.co.za
or
http://www.backpackingadventuresandhostellingsouthernafrica.com
All hostel listings on the hostels page and elsewhere, will remain FREE, as will much of the assistance offered, to those needing help in establishing their mark in Cyberspace.
HOWEVER we are have met many friends both locally and internationally, who can help you in your travels, and so can offer a service to travellers both in-bound and out-bound. If we cannot answer you directly, your query will get passed over directly to an operator who can help you
Well we can help you, book with Hostelworld to whom we are proudly
affiliated JUST CLICK HERE or the banner at the top of the page.
You can even book some hostels within Southern Africa, so do come
back here. This service you will see rapidly expanding and being supported worldwide by
many sites, we are working to expand the operation in Southern Africa
We will provide direct booking links on all services, that can be booked using HostelWorld
and will be active in encouraging all in the industry to support these services. If you
own or manage a hostel and are interested in joining this world wide facility, please
contact me Mike Gregory
Unfortunately, you will find few Internet resources, north of the Zambezi, although
these are growing, so other forms of contact will be supplied, where available. Please let
me know, of any of these rare finds, that you know of, so that they can be shared with
others.
Listing of hostel's contact details and backpacker related services in Central and
southern Africa are FREE.
We are also very proud to be founder members of Backpacker Tourism Southern Africa (BTSA) and would encourage you to have a look at the members and their services, available at the following site http://www.btsa.co.za

CONSTANTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION - IN YOUR INTEREST
These pages, were created with the help of amongst others, intially Netscape Navigator Gold, Microsoft Assistants for MS Office, Hotmetal and Notepad. Greatly assisted by certain forms of artificial intelligence, a few learned tomes, far too many good bottles of the Cape's finest red wine, many bloodshot eyed evenings and "often just pure Notepad determination, sweat or brilliance" to get it right. !!
My thanks, to all that helped, especially with the inspiration, information, feedback and support.

A PROUD MEMBER of the Helpware Circle
My personal thanks, to all that have helped me design and list this site. The hours of help, freely given advice & many freeware products found. NOW THIS IS HOW WE PAY BACK by GIVING ourselves, let me know if I can help you.? Weird Isn't it? - The concept of helping a complete stranger ?? BUT THAT's THE ETHOS OF THE NET
Just Backpacking Southern Africa is JUST THAT, only an information and links service, around since 1995 to assist you the backpacker, and is not a commercial, commission taking booking operation at all.
As such we only associate with the best in the industry all over the world, and are completely independent, and so able to work for the good of the industry,
You will never see us do 2 things - 1)The dreaded comments or judging of hostels & services etc - its too subjective and 2) Quote prices - they change too often , are a bastard to update, and often negociable.
Although we do try to get it all right, all to often we are not always informed when things change - so bear with us if things are incorrect - PLS tell me so I can correct it.
BUT unfortunately we can take no legal liability from the usage of the information held on these pages or any resultant losses.
We are essentially a simple service site, for all interested in backpacking, and it's promotion is Southern Africa. "FEET IN AFRICA are good for us all, without them we are all lost", so we are quite happy to share our resources with anybody with the same motives.
Please note that this site has absolutely no connection to "Backpack Africa Internet C.C." nor any other commercial operations in Southern Africa and is purely a service.
In fact this site in its many forms, has been around in cyberspace way before the great commercialism of the web started and prides itself as being the only FREE informational service open to all.
