WIN: Go choo choo for Father’s Day prize
Enter now for a chance to win one set of four tickets.
ONE lucky reader stands a chance to win a set of four tickets to board the Inchanga Choo Choo on Sunday, 20 June (Father’s Day) at 08:30.
Enjoy the scenic route aboard the Umgeni Steam Train as it leaves Stokers Arms in Kloof on a round trip. It will chug towards Inchanga offering spectacular views of the Valley of 1 000 Hills. It travels west through Gillitts, Hillcrest, Botha’s Hill, Alverstone (the highest point) and Drummond. The train also goes through the oldest running tunnel in Drummond (1878).
The round trip is three hours all in and pre-booking is essential. In the spirit of Father’s Day, the Umgeni Steam Railway will run twice on Sunday, 20 June. The second trip will start at 12:30. To keep the prices low, and to accommodate additional coaches, the Father’s Day trains will be steam hauled.
At Inchanga Station, guests can disembark to enjoy a Father’s Day themed craft and food market that is set up in and around the old station. Guests can spoil their dads with edible treats, jewellery and décor; clothes and accessories, perfumes and soaps and plants and succulents. Stalls at the Inchanga Craft market, and onboard souvenirs and refreshments are on a cash-only basis.
