WHAT YOU VISIT
Transnet Transport Museum
Designed for history buffs and train enthusiasts, the Transnet Transport Museum is an absolute must-visit. Not only does it capture the romance of the railway era but it also provides valuable insights into South Africa's transportation heritage. Learn the region's rich railway history and how trains were instrumental in opening up the Garden Route as you stroll past a variety of steam locomotives. Other displays include furniture, silverware, cutlery and other items from various periods of the transport industry. There is also a curated display of classic motor vehicles and a privately owned vintage car collection, and wooden carriages.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Among the treasure trove of trains is the museum's crowning glory-the meticulously preserved original "White Coach," especially built for Queen Elizabeth for her 1947 visit to South Africa.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your guide will meet you at the pier and accompany you to George. En-route you will have the chance to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the famous Garden Route coast line. Drive from Mossel Bay to George, following the coastal road up to the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains.
