Namibia is a destination of contrasts which is best seen through an exploration from top to bottom on board a vintage train. Golden sand dunes roll into the Atlantic Ocean, game roams the white salt pans of Etosha National Park whilst the Deadvlei surprises with its stark colour contrasts.
1. An Otherworldly Train Journey
You’ll board your luxury train and settle into your royal suite as the wheels begin to turn on the tracks that cross Namibia’s ever-changing landscapes.
Your adventure will see you disembarking to discover the deserted Fish River Canyon, the world’s second largest canyon and an otherworldly site making for a fascinating hiking experience. Continue to travel through the wind-swept dunes and prehistoric Quiver trees of the Kalahari Basin.
2. The Legendary Salt Pans of Sossusvlei
Alongside sensational vistas, you’ll have the opportunity to sight many of the desert adapted wildlife species including oryx, giraffe and black-maned Kalahari lions.
You’ll fly above the ancient red dunes of the Sossusvlei before landing in the most remote region where you’ll spend the night at a desert lodge, witnessing the dunes showcase a kaleidoscope of colours with the setting of the sun.
3. Beauty & Nature at the Etosha National Park
Back on board, your journey continues to Etosha National Park where huge numbers of game stroll across the stark white plains, congregating around the waterholes making for intimate wildlife sightings.
Your journey ends as you roll into the golden sands of the Namib Desert, an empty expanse where dunes stretch across the horizon dropping dramatically into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
