According to Mark Smith, The Man in Seat 61, Shosholoza Meyl's long-distance passenger trains are a great and safe way to travel between Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Cape Town to Jo'burg is a bargain R280-50 (£19-37) with sleeper. Or take the weekly Cape Town to Durban train across the arid desert of the Karoo, past the De Beers Diamond mine in Kimberley, and through the Orange Free State and into Natal.
You'll also see the spot where Winston Churchill's train was derailed by the Boers and where Mahatma Ghandi was thrown off a train - a comfortable bed, an amazing journey and a slice of history for just R415 (£31).
