Experiences in Africa

Luxury Train Travel - The African Way

If you were under the impression that the time of luxury train travel belongs to the past, you are quite wrong. It's not just in the pages of books written by famous authors of the past that you will find this nearly forgotten world of traveling in style and luxury - you can experience it right now while at the same time experiencing all the excitement that a journey through Africa can offer you.

Imagine boarding the world's most luxurious train at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Before your trip commences, spend a few days in this cosmopolitan city with its vibrant mix of African and Western cultures. Visit the V&A Waterfront - a living harbor surrounded by a plethora of shopping malls, restaurants and live music venues. Hike up Table Mountain. Visit the wine cellars of the Western Cape. And then board your train for the experience of a lifetime.

The suites are furnished tastefully in a classical style. The wood paneling and Edwardian features will make you feel that you are stepping back in time, experiencing once again a nearly forgotten world of elegance and luxury train fit for a king or queen.

One thing you don't have to be worried about is that all this old-world charm will mean that you must live without your electric shaver or your hair dryer for a couple of days. This is not the case. Every modern convenience you are used to will be there, from the hair dryer to the shaver plug. Your private bathroom will be but a step away from your comfortable twin or double bed. You will have a private safe to lock away your valuables and you will also have a personal writing surface where you can make notes in case you want to become the next Graham Greene.

When it comes to service, you will soon realize that on this train you will never be able to complain about service. Room service is available 24 hours a day and there will always be a staff member available to take care of whatever need you may have.

Once the train rolls out of the city and enters the countryside of the Western Cape, you can sit back and relax with your favorite drink while the most amazing scenery drifts silently past your window: First the winelands of the Boland area, then the majestic mountains separating Cape Town from the interior and after that the endless plains of the Karoo.

Where will this journey of luxury train travel eventually lead to? The choice is yours: You could explore the beauty of the Garden Route, the vibrant city of Johannesburg and the beautiful mountains and beaches of KwaZulu Natal. Or you could move across the border into Botswana and on to the Victoria Falls. You could even venture to exotic places like Dar-Es-Salaam in Tanzania. And from 2010 you even have the option of ending your journey in the ancient world of Sphinxes and Pyramids surrounding Cairo in Egypt.
