This is a safe method to travel and train staff work hard to please their clients on this day long journey. History buffs will have a great time viewing quite a number of Anglo-Boer war block houses en route to Beaufort West. The Lord Milner Hotel reminds of an era of enterprise and Karoo development in Matjesfontein. A good 3-course lunch while traveling through big sky country is just what the doctor ordered. Birders will be pleasantly surprised to learn that the Blue crane, and national bird of South Africa, now dines in the Karoo fields as well. Suites are well appointed with all necessary trimming befitting a train of this class. Beds are comfortable and have sufficient width not to feel squashed for the star gazing journey into dreamland! Couples, groups, and singles all enjoy the luxury of train travel by having their own sleeper compartment.
The lounge car is the place to be if you enjoy sharing a few stories with fellow passengers and friends. A selection of local wines, beer, sparkling wine, as well as a good representation of the house of Walker!
Coffee in bed is a great way to start the day and Breakfast is served at a reasonable hour.
This is a great way to travel between Cape Town and Johannesburg, in either direction, when you have 26 hours to spare!
