1. Leaving the country

Presumably you want a coach ticket to say your leaving South Africa and going to Namibia? In which case the only coach company that goes from Cape Town to Windhoek, (capital) is Inter Cape and they wont let you book over the phone (sorry). The Baz bus dont go there, you could try an over land adventure traval company as a few offer shuttle runs across the border from Cape Town and they might be on the net. Try 'wild dog safaris' or 'nomad Safaris'. If you want somewhere to stay in Windhoek the best place is the card board box backpackers. The best thing to do would be to contact a backpackers in Cape Town and then get them to arrange everything for you, then if there's any problem at immigration get them to ring the backpackers (I suggest the pink elephant backpackers) Hope thats helpful.

2. S. Africa

The only place that the Baz bus crosses the border is into Swaziland but I'm not sure if immagration will accept that.
You should try the other companies like Intercape, Translux, or Greyhound if you wish to get a Ticket to places like Namibia, Zim etc...
But be aware SA immagration usually want to see an on-ward ticket or some sort of proof that you will be leaving the contient.
As for places to stay in Cape Town There is a lot to choose from But try Oak Lodge, Ashanti or The Carnaby as they are three of the better places
Any way hope all goes well
