SPEND
FIVE LUXURIOUS DAYS between Cape Town and the Garden

fascinating tour (even for non-rail enthusiasts).
TAKE A TOUR of the Cape Agulhas lighthouse, the
Kleinplasie open-air steam museum and an authentic, working
locomotive depot. Visit Africa’s southernmost station.
Savour a scenic ride on the unique Power Van up the picturesque
Outeniqua Pass. Have a memorable trip on the famous Choo-Tjoe
between George and Knysna - or join the photographers chasing
it.
ENJOY TIME at a real ostrich ranch. Relax at Avalon
Springs. Follow the train line back to Cape Town via Worcester,
Wolseley, Gouda and Malmesbury station.
