Shongololo Express, map of the Good Hope route
The Shongololo Express operates with a unique advantage – it carries its own excursion vehicles with it. Shongololo is the Zulu word for the large brown millipede, and indeed this long train is an impressive sight as it marches across the plains of southern Africa. This is a true safari experience, by rail.
Travelling comfortably and securely during the night, Shongololo Express trains save guests precious holiday time, arriving each dawn at a new and exciting destination. The fleet of air-conditioned touring vehicles is transported together with the train and professional multi lingual guides (English, Afrikaans, French & German spoken on board) are ready and on hand to drive guests on inclusive, scheduled excursions. From a warm welcome and transfer to the train at the start of the journey, to an exciting and varied programme of touring, superb breakfasts and dinners with fine South African wines on board – all these combine to create an unforgettable holiday.
