Steaming good fun in the Garden Route! Kids and steam buffs take note - the Outeniqua Choo-tjoe train drives twice a day between George and Mossel Bay during December. Grab the kids and experience a day's trip down memory lane. Visit the Outeniqua Transport Museum before you travel on South Africa’s only remaining scheduled steam train, the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe.

The Choo Tjoe takes its passengers on a unique, picturesque and scenic 52 kilometre journey through the Garden Route with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean. Leaving from george, you'll be snaking along through farmlands, crossing two rivers, careering down and around horseshoe bends before coming to the dramatic sight of hills falling to the crashing Indian Ocean waves near Glentana. Finally arriving in Mossel Bay at Santos Beach and the Diaz Museum Complex you will have the opportunity to visit the Post Office tree, Aquarium, Granary, Maritime, Cultural and Shell Museums. From there all the restaurants, shops and other facilities are within walking distance.
