The history of the African bus is as varied and interesting as the continent itself. But, while the history of buses in other continents has been thoroughly described and many professionals and hobbyists follow current developments, the African bus remains a mystery to many. However, there is much more to it than secondhand European buses and foreign operators, as we will try to show on the country pages.

While over the years I made thousands of pictures of buses in many countries in Africa, this collection merely forms the basis of this site. Fortunately, others contribute and I would like to invite anyone who can to contribute with information and/or pictures.
