The Old Karoo Pioneering Trail - for many visitors to South Africa, the 48-hour weekly journey between Pretoria and Cape Town is one of the best routes to see the country. Travel the grasslands of the gold rich Highveld to the haunting barrenness of the Great Karoo. Trundle through spectacular mountain ranges and scenic wine lands of the Cape. The journey ends at Cape Town on the southbound route, the Mother City of South Africa, cradled by the imposing bulk of Table Mountain, Devil’s Peak and Lions Head.
