Graham Greene
Luxury Train Travel – The Art Of Traveling In True Style.
If you thought that the era of luxury train travel is something of the past, think again. You don’t just have to read of famous authors, like Graham Greene, gliding across the plains of Africa in sheer luxury while outside the wonders of this amazing continent unfolds. You can soon be the one experiencing the excitement of Africa from the comfort of a world class coach.
Imagine boarding the world’s most luxurious train at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Before your trip commences, spend a few days in this cosmopolitan city with its vibrant mix of African and Western cultures. Visit the V&A Waterfront – a living harbor surrounded by a plethora of shopping malls, restaurants and live music venues. Hike up Table Mountain. Visit the wine cellars of the Western Cape. And then board your train for the experience of a lifetime.
The suites are furnished tastefully in a classical style. The wood paneling and Edwardian features will make you feel that you are stepping back in time, experiencing once again a nearly forgotten world of elegance and luxury train fit for a king or queen.
Don’t for one moment think that this old-world style means you have to live without modern conveniences for a couple of days. To the contrary, the compartments are equipped with every mod-con you would expect in a top class hotel. You will have your own private bathroom and conveniences like hair dryers and shaver plugs can be taken for granted. You will even have your own private writing surface and there’s a safe to lock away your valuables.
Should there be something you are not happy about, or you want to ask, you will quickly realize that service is not just a word on this train. With an excellent staff/passenger ratio, you can at all times be ensured of highly personal service catering for every need you might have.
Once you are on your way and the train glides into the countryside of the Western Cape, you can sit back and relax with your favorite drink, watching the magic of Africa starting to unfold outside your compartment window. First the winelands, then the majestic mountains, then the plains of the Karoo stretching endlessly into the distance.
Where will this journey of luxury train travel eventually lead to? The choice is yours: You could explore the beauty of the Garden Route, the vibrant city of Johannesburg and the beautiful mountains and beaches of KwaZulu Natal. Or you could move across the border into Botswana and on to the Victoria Falls. You could even venture to exotic places like Dar-Es-Salaam in Tanzania. And from 2010 you even have the option of ending your journey in the ancient world of Sphinxes and Pyramids surrounding Cairo in Egypt.
