Travel through the spectacular mountain ranges and scenic winelands of the Cape to the haunting barrenness of the Great Karoo. Visit the historic village of Matjiesfontein. Next stop is Kimberley for a city tour and a visit to the world's largest man-made excavation, the Big Hole, and its Diamond Mine Museum.

After border formalities at Mafikeng, the train travels north the following day through Botswana's capital, Gaborone, crosses the Tropic of Capricorn and continues via Francistown to the Zimbabwean border at Plumtree.

The next day the train passes through Hwange National Park - a rich and diverse wildlife sanctuary where animals can be spotted from the train and a game drive excursion is enjoyed.
