Day 1

Board the Pride of Africa from Swakopmund Station

Board the Pride of Africa luxury train at Swakopmund, a beautifully preserved Hansa town on the Western coastline of Namibia.

Settle in to your beautiful Pullman Suite before embarking on your journey through this fascinating country home to the Kalahari Desert, Namib Desert and the infamous Skeleton Coast, the site of hundreds of shipwrecks.

As you pull away from the station, watch the desert scenery from the Observation Car or meet with fellow passengers in the cosy Lounge Bar. Look out for the impressive Spitzkoppe Mountain, a spectacle larger than Table Mountain. Enjoy your first fabulous feast in the restaurant car before retiring for your first night aboard this incredible train.

Day 2

Mokuti Lodge

After breakfast arrive in Tsumeb, one of the most prosperous areas in Namibia, especially in the mineral and agriculture industry. Geologists are particularly fascinated by the geology within the area such as the Gaub caves, home to incredible underground caverns.

Transfer onto a luxury coach to the lavish 5* Mokuti Lodge.Pass through agricultural plains that sweep into the distance and merge into the Kalahari Desert. Arrive at the Mokuti Lodge and experience a game drive in the Etosha National Park. Discover just a small area of this incredible park spread over 22,270 square kilometres. Watch out for the herds of game such as the black faced impala and the endangered black rhino . Watch the gamboling giraffes and keep your eyes peeled for a racing cheetah in the distance.

Return to your chalet and watch the stunning sunset from your own private veranda.

Day 3

Etosha Pan and Tsumeb

Follow breakfast with an early morning game drive in the Etosha National Park. Drive through the mirages of the Etosha Pan which shimmer in the heat. Look out for Egyptian vultures, blue wildebeest and the Etosha elephants whose short tusks are a definitive characteristic of the Etosha Pan.

Return to the Pride of Africa and journey onwards towards Namibia's capital, Windhoek. Journey through Otiwarongo, the original staging post for the TransNamib railway line and with a name meaning "the pleasant place". Just 29km from here, dinosaur prints are still visible in the dusty sand.

Day 4

Windhoek and Sossusvlei

Awake for breakfast as you reach Windhoek. Located in the Khomas Highland Plateau area and taken over by the Germans in 1890, Windhoek is Namibia's cultural, social and economic hub. Visit the highlights of the city including the railway station, a focal point of the TransNamib railway.

Following your tour, take an incredible journey across Western Namibia by light aircraft. The one hour flight is incredibly scenic and arrives in Soussusvlei in time for a traditional African lunch. The area is surrounded by impressive red sand dunes such as Dune 45, one of the highest in the world. Take a desert drive, sample a fantastic, traditional bush dinner and spend your night in the comfort of this incredible lodge.

Day 5

On Board

Begin your day with breakfast in the Sossus Vlei marshes and a chance to see the incredible sunrise, where the colours of the sky constantly change, offering some fantastic photo opportunities. Enjoy an early morning game drive, when the antelopes, ostriches and sometimes bigger game, come to drink at the waterhole. Fly back to Windhoek above the giant sandy dunes.

Spend the rest of your day admiring the vast landscape of the Namib Desert and the beautiful red sand dunes from the Observation Lounge, curling up with a book in the comfortable lounge or chatting with fellow passengers.

Day 6

Fish River Canyon

After breakfast, take a walking tour of the town of Keetmanshoop and journey to the remarkable Fish River Canyon. Second only to the Grand Canyon in geographical importance, Fish River is an incredible 161 kilometres long and 27 kilometres wide. The Canyon contains a multitude of fish such as catfish and yellowfish. Leopards, mountain zebra and baboon also frequently visit the waterholes.

Return to the train in time for a well-deserved dinner as you travel onwards to the Namibian/South African border.

Day 7

Across the border to South Africa

Today, the Pride of Africa stops at the fascinating border town of Upington. Named after Sir Thomas Uppington, attorney general of the Cape and famous for capturing the leader of the Orange Pirates, Upington is reached by Africa's second longest railway bridge offering fabulous views as the train rolls across.

Day 8

Kimberley (Diamonds and Flamingos)

As you travel through the legendary Great Karoo, meaning "the land of great thirst", pass the impressive railway junction of De Aar, the meeting place for all trains from the Cape, Gauteng and Namibia.

Arrive into Kimberley mid-morning. The town was founded during the famous “new rush” of the 1870s when thousands of men descended on the area to mine for diamonds. By 1873 Kimberley was the second largest town in South Africa. The city is still marketed as ‘city that sparkles’. Enjoy a visit to the "Big Hole", one of the largest hand dug mines in the world and to the Mine Museum before reboarding the train.

Day 9

Itinerary - 8 Night Luxury Holiday by Rail - Deluxe Suite

Day 1

Board the Pride of Africa from Swakopmund Station

Board the "Pride of Africa" luxury train at Swakopmund, a beautifully preserved Hansa town on the Western coastline of Namibia.

Settle in to your beautiful Deluxe Suite before embarking on your journey through this fascinating country home to the Kalahari Desert, Namib Desert and the infamous Skeleton Coast, the site of hundreds of shipwrecks.

As you pull away from the station, watch the desert scenery from the Observation Car or meet with fellow passengers in the cosy Lounge Bar. Look out for the impressive Spitzkoppe Mountain, a spectacle larger than Table Mountain. Enjoy your first fabulous feast in the restaurant car before retiring for your first night aboard this incredible train.

Day 2

Mokuti Lodge

After breakfast arrive in Tsumeb, one of the most prosperous areas in Namibia, especially in the mineral and agriculture industry. Geologists are particularly fascinated by the geology within the area such as the Gaub caves, home to incredible underground caverns.

Transfer onto a luxury coach to the lavish 5* Mokuti Lodge.Pass through agricultural plains that sweep into the distance and merge into the Kalahari Desert. Arrive at the Mokuti Lodge and experience a game drive in the Etosha National Park. Discover just a small area of this incredible park spread over 22,270 square kilometres. Watch out for the herds of game such as the black faced impala and the endangered black rhino . Watch the gamboling giraffes and keep your eyes peeled for a racing cheetah in the distance.

Return to your chalet and watch the stunning sunset from your own private veranda.

Day 3

Etosha Pan and Tsumeb

Follow breakfast with an early morning game drive in the Etosha National Park. Drive through the mirages of the Etosha Pan which shimmer in the heat. Look out for Egyptian vultures, blue wildebeest and the Etosha elephants whose short tusks are a definitive characteristic of the Etosha Pan.

Return to the Pride of Africa and journey onwards towards Namibia's capital, Windhoek. Journey through Otiwarongo, the original staging post for the TransNamib railway line and with a name meaning "the pleasant place". Just 29km from here, dinosaur prints are still visible in the dusty sand.

Day 4

Windhoek and Sossusvlei

Awake for breakfast as you reach Windhoek. Located in the Khomas Highland Plateau area and taken over by the Germans in 1890, Windhoek is Namibia's cultural, social and economic hub. Visit the highlights of the city including the railway station, a focal point of the TransNamib railway.

Following your tour, take an incredible journey across Western Namibia by light aircraft. The one hour flight is incredibly scenic and arrives in Soussusvlei in time for a traditional African lunch. The area is surrounded by impressive red sand dunes such as Dune 45, one of the highest in the world. Take a desert drive, sample a fantastic, traditional bush dinner and spend your night in the comfort of this incredible lodge.

Day 5

On Board

Begin your day with breakfast in the Sossus Vlei marshes and a chance to see the incredible sunrise, where the colours of the sky constantly change, offering some fantastic photo opportunities. Enjoy an early morning game drive, when the antelopes, ostriches and sometimes bigger game, come to drink at the waterhole. Fly back to Windhoek above the giant sandy dunes.

Spend the rest of your day admiring the vast landscape of the Namib Desert and the beautiful red sand dunes from the Observation Lounge, curling up with a book in the comfortable lounge or chatting with fellow passengers.

Day 6

Fish River Canyon

After breakfast, take a walking tour of the town of Keetmanshoop and journey to the remarkable Fish River Canyon. Second only to the Grand Canyon in geographical importance, Fish River is an incredible 161 kilometres long and 27 kilometres wide. The Canyon contains a multitude of fish such as catfish and yellowfish. Leopards, mountain zebra and baboon also frequently visit the waterholes.

Return to the train in time for a well-deserved dinner as you travel onwards to the Namibian/South African border.

Day 7

Across the border to South Africa

Today, the Pride of Africa stops at the fascinating border town of Upington. Named after Sir Thomas Uppington, attorney general of the Cape and famous for capturing the leader of the Orange Pirates, Upington is reached by Africa's second longest railway bridge offering fabulous views as the train rolls across.

Day 8

Kimberley (Diamonds and Flamingos)

As you travel through the legendary Great Karoo, meaning "the land of great thirst", pass the impressive railway junction of De Aar, the meeting place for all trains from the Cape, Gauteng and Namibia.

Arrive into Kimberley mid-morning. The town was founded during the famous “new rush” of the 1870s when thousands of men descended on the area to mine for diamonds. By 1873 Kimberley was the second largest town in South Africa. The city is still marketed as ‘city that sparkles’. Enjoy a visit to the "Big Hole", one of the largest hand dug mines in the world and to the Mine Museum before reboarding the train.

Day 9

Itinerary - 8 Night Luxury Holiday by Rail - Royal Suite

Day 1

Board the Pride of Africa from Swakopmund Station

Board the "Pride of Africa" luxury train at Swakopmund, a beautifully preserved Hansa town on the Western coastline of Namibia.

Settle in to your beautiful Royal Suite before embarking on your journey through this fascinating country home to the Kalahari Desert, Namib Desert and the infamous Skeleton Coast, the site of hundreds of shipwrecks.

As you pull away from the station, watch the desert scenery from the Observation Car or meet with fellow passengers in the cosy Lounge Bar. Look out for the impressive Spitzkoppe Mountain, a spectacle larger than Table Mountain. Enjoy your first fabulous feast in the restaurant car before retiring for your first night aboard this incredible train.

Day 2

Mokuti Lodge

After breakfast arrive in Tsumeb, one of the most prosperous areas in Namibia, especially in the mineral and agriculture industry. Geologists are particularly fascinated by the geology within the area such as the Gaub caves, home to incredible underground caverns.

Transfer onto a luxury coach to the lavish 5* Mokuti Lodge.Pass through agricultural plains that sweep into the distance and merge into the Kalahari Desert. Arrive at the Mokuti Lodge and experience a game drive in the Etosha National Park. Discover just a small area of this incredible park spread over 22,270 square kilometres. Watch out for the herds of game such as the black faced impala and the endangered black rhino . Watch the gamboling giraffes and keep your eyes peeled for a racing cheetah in the distance.

Return to your chalet and watch the stunning sunset from your own private veranda.

Day 3

Etosha Pan and Tsumeb

Follow breakfast with an early morning game drive in the Etosha National Park. Drive through the mirages of the Etosha Pan which shimmer in the heat. Look out for Egyptian vultures, blue wildebeest and the Etosha elephants whose short tusks are a definitive characteristic of the Etosha Pan.

Return to the Pride of Africa and journey onwards towards Namibia's capital, Windhoek. Journey through Otiwarongo, the original staging post for the TransNamib railway line and with a name meaning "the pleasant place". Just 29km from here, dinosaur prints are still visible in the dusty sand.

Day 4

Windhoek and Sossusvlei

Awake for breakfast as you reach Windhoek. Located in the Khomas Highland Plateau area and taken over by the Germans in 1890, Windhoek is Namibia's cultural, social and economic hub. Visit the highlights of the city including the railway station, a focal point of the TransNamib railway.

Following your tour, take an incredible journey across Western Namibia by light aircraft. The one hour flight is incredibly scenic and arrives in Soussusvlei in time for a traditional African lunch. The area is surrounded by impressive red sand dunes such as Dune 45, one of the highest in the world. Take a desert drive, sample a fantastic, traditional bush dinner and spend your night in the comfort of this incredible lodge.

Day 5

On Board

Begin your day with breakfast in the Sossus Vlei marshes and a chance to see the incredible sunrise, where the colours of the sky constantly change, offering some fantastic photo opportunities. Enjoy an early morning game drive, when the antelopes, ostriches and sometimes bigger game, come to drink at the waterhole. Fly back to Windhoek above the giant sandy dunes.

Spend the rest of your day admiring the vast landscape of the Namib Desert and the beautiful red sand dunes from the Observation Lounge, curling up with a book in the comfortable lounge or chatting with fellow passengers.

Day 6

Fish River Canyon

After breakfast, take a walking tour of the town of Keetmanshoop and journey to the remarkable Fish River Canyon. Second only to the Grand Canyon in geographical importance, Fish River is an incredible 161 kilometres long and 27 kilometres wide. The Canyon contains a multitude of fish such as catfish and yellowfish. Leopards, mountain zebra and baboon also frequently visit the waterholes.

Return to the train in time for a well-deserved dinner as you travel onwards to the Namibian/South African border.

Day 7

Across the border to South Africa

Today, the Pride of Africa stops at the fascinating border town of Upington. Named after Sir Thomas Uppington, attorney general of the Cape and famous for capturing the leader of the Orange Pirates, Upington is reached by Africa's second longest railway bridge offering fabulous views as the train rolls across.

Day 8

Kimberley (Diamonds and Flamingos)

As you travel through the legendary Great Karoo, meaning "the land of great thirst", pass the impressive railway junction of De Aar, the meeting place for all trains from the Cape, Gauteng and Namibia.

Arrive into Kimberley mid-morning. The town was founded during the famous “new rush” of the 1870s when thousands of men descended on the area to mine for diamonds. By 1873 Kimberley was the second largest town in South Africa. The city is still marketed as ‘city that sparkles’. Enjoy a visit to the "Big Hole", one of the largest hand dug mines in the world and to the Mine Museum before reboarding the train.
