Summary
Enjoy the luxury and service of a five-star hotel combined with all the romance of a bygone age when you travel on what is regarded as one of the most luxurious trains in the world.
Cocooned in super-comfortable & opulent wood-panelled carriages as the drama of Africa unfurls all around you, this is a train journey you will never forget.
There are three beautifully and classically built trains, each carrying a maximum of 72 passengers and decorated with traditional furnishings in an elegant style. There are a number of journeys on offer from 48 hours to 28 days. Some take in the delights of Cape Town, the awesome sight of Victoria Falls & the stark beauty of the Karoo, others the game of KwaZulu Natal and the Namibian desert, while the 28-day journey from Cairo to the Cape is an unforgettable experience.
Depending on the journey, the trains will be hauled by diesel or electric locomotives – all in exceptional comfort and style.

A more leisurely and bygone version of the Blue Train, which is wonderful for those with the time and the budget. There is an excellent range of journeys available but on all of them try to bag a seat in the observation car when pre-drinks are served.
