Revel In Luxury Train Travel As You Discover The Wonders Of Africa
Have you dreamed of exploring Africa and following in the footsteps of great explorers of times gone by? Would wild animals roaming the plains of this great continent thrill you? Do you want to feel the spray from the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World? This would be the holiday of a life time! But, you need your comfort, you need to feel safe, and you hate sitting in a bus full of tourists rushing from place to place. Luxury train travel is the answer. Book a ticket and sit back as your travel from the Tavern of the Seas to the Smoke that Thunders in luxury train travel.
Journey from the Tavern of the Seas, as Cape Town was known by Portuguese, Dutch and English sailors of times gone by when sailing ships crossed the great oceans, deep into the heart of Southern Africa where the mighty Zambezi River thunders over the edge and down to the deep abyss below creating the magnificent Victoria Falls.
Step back into a more gracious age when you choose luxury train travel. The quietly elegant carriages brought back to their former glory by devotees of train travel embrace you in a cocoon of peace and comfort in which you can enjoy your holiday experience.
Quickly settle into your own five star compartment so that you can enjoy the sights before leaving. From the observation coach, gaze up at Table Mountain towering over the city. Slowly the train glides past Table Bay, through the wine lands of Stellenbosch and over the ragged mountains into the interior.
Enjoy a drink with your traveling companions as the train speeds across miles of seemingly deserted land. Raise your glass to the thousands of pink flamingo at home in the wetlands outside Kimberley.
Further northwards you encounter Pretoria, the city of Jacarandas, before heading up to the Tropics. Sit back in comfort as you search the vast tracks of land in Botswana across which the animals roam. You see herds of buck and zebra, lumbering elephant and tall giraffe, graceful and ungainly at the same time.
Your destination is not far off. Crossing into the north west of Zimbabwe, you will join your new found friends craning your necks and straining your ears for the sight and sound of the famous falls.
But nothing has prepared you for the all-encompassing experience of being drenched through your raincoat as you gaze in wonder at the 1,700 meter sheet of water, roaring as it plunges into the Zambezi Gorge a 100 meters below.
