DAR
ES SALAAM
An Authentic African Adventure
In July every year, this epic 14-day journey travels through South
Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania and is one of the most famous
train journeys in the world. This magnificent sojourn will take
you through South Africa with short tours of the diamond town of
Kimberley and the capital city of Pretoria. Then a two-night stay
in a private game lodge in the famous Kruger Park Game area, before
crossing into Zimbabwe, with another overnight stop at the Victoria
Falls Hotel. After crossing the mighty Zambezi River travel north
eastwards through Zambia, joining the Tazara Railway line at Kapiri
Mposhe. Enjoy a bush walk and picnic at Kundalilia Falls, and continue
the climb towards the Zambian/Tanzanian border, almost the midpoint
between Africa’s two Great Rift Valley lakes. Descend into
the Rift Valley itself and enjoy spectacular scenery as the train
negotiates the tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the escarpment.
Early on the last day the train passes through the Selous Game Reserve,
the largest on the Continent - a vision of timeless Africa shortly
before the bustle of arrival in Dar Es Salaam Station. |
