Pretoria to Durban via Midrand and Johannesburg

As one of the trendiest destinations in the country when it comes to restaurants, parties and nights out, and one of the most intriguing when it comes to contemporary history and politics, Pretoria needs no introduction.

Neither does Durban where tropical weather days on the beach and stunning scenery are as celebrated as its vibrant local cuisine.

This route departs from Pretoria station and travels via our Engen New Road Midrand stop as well as Johannesburg Park Station. To see where else we stop along the way to Durban, visit https://www.citiliner.co.za/pretoria-johannesburg-durban/

Johannesburg – Mzuzu via Lilongwe – Johannesburg

From the apartheid museum to the richest square mile in Africa – now with a skyscraper to match – Johannesburg finds its roots in the gold industry.

But, if you fancy yourself a coffee lover, it’s Mzuzu, Malawi’s financial capital, that will please you most. It’s not lacking in culture either and we suggest that you visit the Mzuzu Museum for an anthropological fix.

This route departs from Johannesburg Park Station and heads into Malawi going via our Lilongwe office at the Jawad Centre and ending at our Mzuzu office located at; Corporate Mall, Paul Kagame Road, Mzuzu.

With an ever spectacular 68ha National Botanic Garden, with more than 900 species of wild trees and shrubs from all over the country, Harare is certainly a garden city worth seeing.

Komani, formerly Queenstown, rests on the Komani River, which forms part of the Great Kei system of rivers – an area of spectacular scenery and fascinating history.

It’s the last stop of a route that starts in Johannesburg, then heads through the farming heartland of South Africa – the city of Roses – and then Mthatha, a city that falls in the brilliant and scenic Transkei.
