Departing Pretoria and moving East on the Delagoa line to Nelspruit for breakfast. Travelling on, we travel over the most scenic branch line in South Africa - rising up a winding 300m to Rosehaugh and rising another 300m to Spitskop (site of a gold rush last century) and then dropping 400m to SA's forestry capital - Sabie.
From here, we again wind our way upward to Graskop yet another 300m through wonderful scenery. The side tour by bus takes us to the early gold mining town of Pilgrim's Rest and to God's Window for the real view and meaning of the Escarpment and to literally see both the Highveld and the Lowveld at the same time.
We make an early departure for breakfast at Hendriksdal and to journey up the Elands River Valley in daylight. The train moves up the incredible Boven Pass past the Elands Falls and to Waterval Boven.
From here, we take a relaxing journey along the Highveld, into the setting sun to reach Pretoria in the late afternoon.
(2 breakfasts, 1 dinner. Lounge Car/Bar Service, complimentary tea/coffee anytime).
