Enjoy a nostalgic steam train trip on this railway company, which was formed in 1982 by a group of enthusiasts who realized the demise of steam in South Africa was not far off. All proceeds from running the trains are channeled back into restoration. This is one of the oldest lines and most scenic railway trips in South Africa. The train is available to hire for functions and conferences. Departure point is Kloof station, departing the first and last Sunday of every month.

Great fun for all
I travelled on Umgeni Steam Railway during the winter months when most real tourists attractions were closed. As I had never been on a train before I thought that it would be quite an experience for us, and our children ! From start to finish it was an experience not to be missed. Great atmosphere. Great spirit and enthusiasm from the (volunteer) Umgeni staff. Inchanga is a very relaxing and tranquil place with lots to see and things for the children. I felt very safe with the Umgeni staff walking around, making sure that everyone was happy and asking if there was anything that they could do. I was sorry to leave. Great value for money. I will definately go again when next I am in the area. One word of warning - you MUST book first as the train trips are popular all year around. Graham Capetown
