General information

You will discover the wonders of southern Africa by luxury train. The Shongololo train runs between Walvis Bay and Pretoria. From the rugged coast of the Atlantic to the vast savannah of South Africa, the train stops at carefully selected locations. The canyon, cities, deserts and wildlife will surprise you with their beauty along the way. Bed, breakfast, dinner and carefully selected activities are included. You spend 1 night at Etosha N.P. and 1 night in the Namib-Naukluft Park.

A trip with the Shongololo Express is still seen as a unique experience. The well-trained train staff and the multi-language guides will ensure that you will not miss anything during this trip.

These train journeys are a luxury way to get to know a country. In this case you are even introduced to two countries: South Africa and Namibia. Countries with unparalleled beauty, wide views and beautiful sunsets. The silence in the desert landscape and African wildlife will make this trip very special. The crew and guides will ensure that every day is special, no matter in which country you are, inside or outside the train.

The journey starts with a warm welcome and then continues silently into an unforgettable holiday, where you only have to pack and unpack your bags once. Unless you are going to use the optional extra excursions that are not included in the travel sum.

The excursions mentioned in the itinerary are carried out with an air-conditioned bus (you) and are included in the travel sum. Train stays are based on bed, breakfast and dinner. Lunches on board the train are included where mentioned in the itinerary.

The price on our website is based on a stay in a Gold Cabin. You can also stay in an Emerald Cabin for an additional charge:
