This journey is so varied in scenery as the train moves from the <\/span>lush<\/a><\/span> and tropical east coast to the vast deserts of the west traversing the imposing <\/span>Drakensberg Mountains<\/a><\/span>, the <\/span>Karoo<\/a><\/span> semi-desert and the untamed beauty of the <\/span>Kalahari<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Namib<\/a><\/span>. Safaris are enjoyed in the famous <\/span>Kruger Park<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Hluhluwe Reserve<\/a><\/span> along with lodge stays in the game-rich <\/span>Etosha<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Sossusvlei<\/a><\/span> surrounded by dramatic dunes. Other highlights include the cultural Kingdom of <\/span>eSwatini<\/a><\/span>, the <\/span>botanical gardens<\/a><\/span> of Durban, <\/span>Kimberley\u2019s<\/a><\/span> Diamond Mine Museum, the impressive <\/span>Fish River Canyon<\/a><\/span>, Namibia\u2019s capital <\/span>Windhoek<\/a><\/span>, the unusual quiver trees in <\/span>Garas Park<\/a><\/span> and a <\/span>cheetah conservation project<\/a><\/span>. Found between the Atlantic coast and the Namib dunes, <\/span>The Strand<\/a><\/span> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
