I would recommend you call PRASA directly to find out about the Linen, as I doubt you'll get an answer on this with the few Saffas we have on the forums.

Honestly, I haven't heard much (anything) good about these trains, with a lot of complaints on a popular talk radio station called 702. If this isn't about the "journey" for you, and you just want to get to Johannesburg for example, you can get airline tickets for pretty close to what you pay for that train ride.

https://www.kulula.com lists CPT to JNB at just over 880 bucks early June, so R 280 more than the train ride, and far less drama.

I can't help you on the volunteering side of things, but Cape Town is tourist central for South Africa, and you will easily be able to hook up a tour into Vic Falls. Also, with winter coming, Kruger National Park will be very nice as the elephant grass will be dead and you can actually see proper animals if you're into that kind of thing.

Google Yellow-fever vaccinations in south Africa, there's tons of places and you can ask around for the best price. I have my vaccinations done at Netcare clinics and don't have a bad word to say about them.

Anyway, I can help out with things to do around the country, good places to eat and so on if you need more info.

I'm a bit of an old fart, so cheap hostel accommodation, clubbing and that kind of things are outside my area of expertise.
