The Garden Route
 Port Elizabeth, filled with Victorian buildings and statues from the days of the British Empire Click for a larger image (66 KB) | Traveling through the fruit and wine regions of Robertson, Ashton and Swellendam the line meets the Garden Route at Mossel Bay, where Bartholomew Diaz was the first European to anchor on South African soil in 1488 and where the line climbs up the dramatic coastline with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean, to arrive in George. |
| When traveling from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, guests are conveyed by bus to board the popular Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe line through the Wilderness lake district behind a 24 class steam- locomotive. Then onto the thrilling ascent of the Outeniqua Pass, bound for Oudtshoorn. Dropping steeply, the line enters the Little Karoo, a world of sandstone cliffs, wild flowers and grand Victorian and Edwardian farmhouses. |  The pristine coastline on The Garden Route Click for a larger image (24 KB) |
