Choo Choo, all aboard!
It's about that time again when families gather for a day outing at the Umgeni Steam Railway Train Trips.
The 86-year-old Steam Engine meanders along the Valley of 1000 Hills and promises great views.
"This roughly 75 minutes trip departs from Inchanga Railway Station, meandering along the rolling hills of Natal, 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." (Umgeni Steam Railways)
