Some occasions deserve more than four walls.

Every charter is planned in close collaboration with our team to ensure your event runs smoothly while respecting the operational requirements of South Africa’s railway network.

Planning Your Charter
Every railway journey is unique, and so is every charter. Because our trains operate on an active rail network and heritage railway operations follow strict safety and scheduling requirements, a few factors help shape what’s possible:
– Charters operate on approved rail routes and are subject to network availability.
– Heritage railway operations follow strict safety and operational standards.
– Exclusive hire is based on the operation of the train as a whole rather than individual coaches.
– Our team will work with you to recommend the best route, timing and onboard experience for your event.
If you’re unsure what’s possible, simply get in touch. We’ll help you explore the options and create an experience that fits your vision.
