Don’t miss the Umgeni Steam Railway’s festive train rides this December!
Umgeni Steam Railway is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers, dedicated to preserving the heritage of railways in South Africa. The Inchanga Choo Choo runs on the last Sunday of each month unless otherwise stated on the schedule. Additional runs are planned during special holiday periods like Christmas and Easter.
Normal running days include a morning train and an afternoon train. Morning trips are three-hour excursions while afternoon trains are 3½ hour trips. All trains stop at Inchanga, where Inchanga Conservancy organises a craft market with food stalls and a picnic area to sit and relax. While at Inchanga, you can buy beverages in the station building and can visit the museum in the Station Master’s House next to the station.
They have some really exciting festive train trips planned from 14 December to 22 December!
