Their shuttle bus from Johannesburg to Swaziland operates every single day, while the other shuttles run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The daily shuttles are ones where you can buy a seat and are essentially a bus that runs from the airport. They also have private charter services, where you can book a vehicle to yourself or your tour group at a premium price.

Transmagnific is the most trusted shuttle services provider in Swaziland when it comes to transport between SA and eSwatini.

They have high ratings based on user review, with an average score of 4.4 out of 5 from a whopping 171 user reviews. Here is what one of the reviews had to say:

• “It was my first time traveling from Eswatini to South Africa so I had a lot of questions but WhatsApp responses were fairly quick and helpful. It was pity that no complimentary shuttle within the kingdom was available for me. Also I would appreciate if they offer a system to pay by card online, not only in the office. ” – David Stuurman

Pros

• A long track record of more than 15 years
• Mostly positive reviews from user
• An affordable option compared to private charter

Cons

TransAfrica Tours

Next up on our list we have TransAfrica tours. This is a shuttle service that operates between OR Tambo and Swaziland, that is based in Johannesburg.

They operate MPV vans which transport people from the airport to the cities of Manzini and Mbabane on a daily basis. Their vehicles are also available for private charters whereby you can book the whole vehicle to yourself.

In addition to shuttle and airport transfers, they also offer custom tours, which is a nice to have.

Their value proposition is affordable pricing and they serve as an additional option for booking when the other options are fully booked, which is known to happen from time to time with shuttles that travel the JHB-eSwatini route.

While they have not been around for as long as more established companies, it is nice to have a service that is aimed specifically for the route between South Africa and eSwatini, as there aren’t many service providers for it and many of the companies tend to stop operating after while.

Overall, you can consider TransAfrica as a JHB based operator that you can make use of if you need to get a seat on a shuttle bus from Johannesburg to Manzini or Mbabane.

Pros

• Based in Johannesburrg
• They have affordable pricing
