South Africa

The "Rainbow Country" is named for its sheer diversity - both in its human inhabitants and the variety of its wildlife and scenery. South Africa, long an international pariah, has reinvented itself as a popular tourist destination and venue of some of the most luxurious and scenic railway journeys in the world. Take the train across the Veld to visit African villages, take in breathtaking scenery and deep diamond mines, taste the finest South African wines and enjoy an outdoor Braai barbecue under the setting sun.

Most people visit South Africa as part of an organised group and this is often the best way of seeing the best the country has to offer, giving you access to the kinds of places and experiences simply not accessible otherwise.
