This journey is so varied in scenery as the train moves from the lush and tropical east coast to the vast deserts of the west traversing the imposing Drakensberg Mountains, the Karoo semi-desert and the untamed beauty of the Kalahari and Namib. Safaris are enjoyed in the famous Kruger Park and Hluhluwe Reserve along with lodge stays in the game-rich Etosha and Sossusvlei surrounded by dramatic dunes. Other highlights include the cultural Kingdom of eSwatini, the botanical gardens of Durban, Kimberley’s Diamond Mine Museum, the impressive Fish River Canyon, Namibia’s capital Windhoek, the unusual quiver trees in Garas Park and a cheetah conservation project. Found between the Atlantic coast and the Namib dunes, The Strand sits on the Swakopmund Mole, a historic sea wall and promenade built in the early 1900s intended as a harbour but, due to natural silting, it became a recreational area instead. Enjoy the restaurants, beer garden, beach, spa and desert tour.
