Sedgefield is a small village and lake in the Western Cape of South Africa.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By train

The train that runs between George and Knysna via Sedgefield and Wilderness is known as the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe [1], and is the last-remaining scheduled steam-hauled train service in South Africa. It is a not-to-be-missed experience ; the scenery along the route is stupendous, and includes the Kaaimans River bridge (the most-photographed railway bridge in the world) and the bridge over the Knysna lagoon.

The railway station is just north of town. There are two or three trains a day to George (in the west) and Knysna (in the east).

Unfortunately, due to heavy rainfall and flooding in 2006, this train service has been suspended until further notice.

[edit] By bus

All the major bus companies that ply the Cape Town-Port Elizabeth route stop in Sedgefield.

[edit] By car

The N2 national road from George (to the west) and Knysna (to the east) runs through the centre of town.
