Life on Board
Re-establishing the art of slow, unplugged travel
The Observation Car
At the rear of the train, panoramic windows and a unique open-air balcony make this the perfect spot for afternoon tea or sundowners as the African scenery recedes behind you.
The Unplugged Experience
No radios, televisions or Wi-Fi in the public cars — devices stay in your suite, making space for conversation, high tea and deep relaxation in the elegant lounges.
Formal Dress Tradition
Days are smart casual; evenings are an occasion. Guests dress formally for dinner — jackets and ties, elegant gowns — to match the Victorian dining carriages.
Five-Star Dining On Rails
Meals are served in a single sitting in the charming dining cars. Chefs prepare four-course dinners using fresh local ingredients, paired with top-tier, hand-selected South African wines.
