The Pride of Africa

The Pride of Africa is described as "The Most Luxurious Train in the World" and when you board one of the two beautifully restored and well-appointed vintage trains you will quite believe it. The Pride of Africa is steam-hauled wherever possible, and operates a number of itineraries in South Africa and beyond - please ask for further details if you are interested in any of these.

A 48-hour journey including visits to Matjiesfontein preserved colonial village and Kimberly's "Big Hole" opencast diamond mine.
