This amazing
15-day train journey travels through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia
and Tanzania and is one of the most famous in the world. The sojourn begins in
Cape Town taking guests to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, the diamond
town of Kimberley and the capital city of Pretoria for short tours followed by
two nights in the Madikwe Game Reserve*. Continue through Botswana into
Zimbabwe where guests overnight at the Victoria Falls Hotel. After crossing the
mighty Zambezi River, the train joins the Tazara line in Zambia and continues
to Chisimba Falls where guests enjoy a bush walk. The train climbs to the
Tanzanian border then descends into the Great Rift Valley negotiating the
tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the spectacular escarpment. Climbing
again, it traverses the Selous Game Reserve – the largest on the continent and
a vision of timeless Africa – before the bustling arrival in Dar es Salaam.
