Luxury sleeper trains

Travelling by luxury sleeper train evokes the splendour of travel in years gone by, dressing for dinner, delicious cocktails and canapes, and perhaps even your own private butler. It’s not always quite so luxurious, but it’s always a true journey and a memorable experience.

Outstanding, amazing, fantastic, out of this world! The Blue Train is far superior to the European orient express experience. Service and attention to detail was second to none. The cabins were extremely comfortable, both during the day and at night. The food and range of drinks were superb. 36 hours of indulgence!

Visiting meerkats, Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana

Face to face with meerkats

I have seen photos of people sitting with meerkats before, but I always imagined that you would probably need a lot of time and patience, or just very good luck, to have that kind of experience.
