Step back into the golden age of leisure travel aboard ‘The Most Luxurious Train in the World’. This bespoke safari links the highveld of Pretoria with the subtropical coast of Durban, offering a rolling window into the heart of South Africa’s diverse landscapes and history.
The Durban Safari is a curated expedition designed to engage the mind and the senses. The itinerary includes:
- A game drive through the Nambiti Conservancy, a private Big Five retreat set on 20,000 acres of malaria-free bushveld, celebrated for its incredible biodiversity.
- A visit to the historic Spionkop Lodge for a battlefields tour led by a world-class historian, offering a profound look at the events that shaped the KwaZulu-Natal interior.
- An excursion to the renowned Ardmore Ceramic Art centre in the Midlands. Here, guests witness the spirit of African imagination translated into world-famous ceramics, a powerful story of Zulu craftsmanship and creative empowerment.
- A final descent through the spectacular Valley of a Thousand Hills as the train trundles towards the shores of the Indian Ocean.
Please note that this journey is also available in reverse from Durban to Pretoria.
