Garden Route Itinerary - Luxury Train Tours
Cape Town - George
The 620km rail journey between Cape Town and George, and then onto Knysna, a coastal jewel in the heart of the famous Garden Route, is rated one of the most beautiful in the world.
From the Mother City, the Pride of Africa travels through the mountains before passing alongside vineyards, rolling wheatfields and racehorse stud farms in the Robertson Valley. There's a stop to sample the famous wines of the district. Then it's onto the coast and the picturesque town of George, where Rovos Rail guests have the option of boarding the museum's Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe for a spectacular 67km journey along the coast through South Africa's own lake district to Knysna. This nature lover's paradise is a mecca for visitors drawn to the town for its natural beauty, abundant bird life and numerous sporting and recreational activities.
