Small Towns to Explore

Take a road trip of a different kind and explore the small town of Ceres in the Western Cape on a steam train. Ceres Rail Company offers a unique steam-train ride through the Western Cape countryside. This family-friendly trip departs from the Royal Cape Yacht Club, near the V&A Waterfront, and takes you through the Witzenberg region, past vineyards, olive groves, majestic mountains, and canola fields to the beautiful Ceres Valley. Seated in comfortable lounge cars, you can enjoy hot beverages and savoury snacks in the Selati Dining Car which dates back to 1932 and was originally part of the Blue Train. Once in Ceres, spend the night in one of their many comfortable accommodation options after a day spent picking cherries and dining at one of the many scenic farms in the area.
