Umgeni Steam Railway Train Festive Trips

Looking for something fun to do with the family?  Why not take a trip behind an 85 year old Steam Engine as we meander along the Valley of 1000 Hills.

This roughly 75 minutes trip departs from Inchanga Railway Station, meandering along the rolling hills of KZN, through one of the oldest operating tunnels in South Africa, with the sights of the Valley of 1000 Hills in the distance, before turning around at Botha’s Hill for the return to Inchanga.

Before or after your trip, you can browse through the Inchanga Station Craft Market where there are various treasures on sale, food to suit most tastes & activities for the whole family.

Visit the Inchanga Railway Museum situated in the Old Station Master’s House or find Thomas & Friends in the Modeller’s Shed on the platform.
