African Golf Collage

This panoramic nine-day or ten-day sojourn winds its way from Pretoria to Cape Town and includes a golfing and non-golfing itinerary. The train traverses the majestic Drakensberg escarpment en route to Mpumalanga where guests enjoy a game drive in the famous Kruger Park and golfers play at Leopard Creek (dependent).

The train then travels through Swaziland to Mkhaya Reserve and Hluhluwe Reserve where a wide variety of game can be seen on morning and afternoon game drives. Then it's on to Durban for a city tour or a game at Durban Country Club before the train traverses the Valley of a Thousand Hills en route to the famous Ardmore Ceramics Gallery.

The route to Bethlehem takes the train past the Kingdom of Lesotho and the highest mountains in the Drakensberg range at 3 482 metres. After a tour of Bloemfontein, guests travel south to Port Elizabeth for a visit to the Addo Elephant Park or a game at Humewood before continuing on to Highgate Ostrich Farm in Oudtshoorn.

What follows is a spectacular rail descent down the Montagu Pass into George and a visit to the natural paradise of Kynsna. Golfers play at Fancourt and Oubaai, Ernie Els's only signature course in South Africa. The train then sets off along the scenic Garden Route, stopping at the KWV Brandy Distillery before this splendid Collage ends in Cape Town.
