RAIL & SAIL SOUTH AFRICA

Rovos - the Pride of Africa In a series of train journeys lasting from 24 hours to a fortnight, the Pride of Africa links some of Africa's greatest destinations from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam, from scenic splendors as diverse as the game reserves of Mpumulanga to the Victoria Falls, from the desert landscapes in Namibia and the stark beauty of the Karoo to the lush cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal and the magnificent garden route along the Cape South Coast.

The Shongololo Express provides a special touring experience for visitors to Southern Africa. The three journeys of between 12 to 15 days traverse South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Mozambique and Zimbabwe with a variety of off-train excursions. Accommodating 72 guests

in two categories of comfortable en-suite cabins with double or twin beds, the classic

wood-panelled carriages hark back to a simpler, more elegant era encompassing the

romance of African exploration.

Luxury takes on a new dimension with The Blue Train. You'll feel it the moment you step into the pre-departure lounges in Pretoria or Cape Town. A warm-hearted South African welcome begins a journey that is defined by personal attention and devotion to detail. The Blue Train Journeys, both scheduled and chartered, take guests through some of the most breathtaking countryside to be found anywhere in the world.
