Outeniqua Transport Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Outeniqua Transport Museum not just to see old machines, but to feel the rumble of South Africa's history. It’s a place where you can walk right up to giants of the steam era and imagine the journeys they once powered across the country. The sheer size of the locomotives is humbling, and the collection of vintage cars adds a wonderful layer of nostalgic charm. You leave with a real sense of the engineering marvels that connected this vast nation.
Collection Highlights
Thirteen magnificent steam locomotives stand as the main attraction, including powerful Class 19D engines. The vintage automobile display features beautifully preserved cars that show a different side of travel history, from stately sedans to rugged utility vehicles.
