Get in

By train

The steam train that used to run between George and Knysna via Sedgefield and Wilderness was known as the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe. It was the last-remaining scheduled steam-hauled train service in South Africa. The railway station is just north of town. The route included the Kaaimans River bridge (the most-photographed railway bridge in the world) and the bridge over the Knysna lagoon. The track was closed after flooding in 2006 and 2007.

By bus

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

By car

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