In Southern Africa, two sophisticated trains vie for attention... both offer five star elegance and service, but each train is unique in its design and decor. In Namibia, the Desert Express offers great value for money, friendly Namibian hospitality and expansive views of the desert wilderness.

Train Travel is reminiscent of a bygone era of grace and romance and a wonderful opportunity to view the countryside in comfort and complete relaxation... with a few enticing off-train excursions en route.

Whatever your choice of train, Thompsons will assist you to package your selected route into your Southern African vacation, please do speak to one of our consultants for their expert advice.

South Africa has two superb luxury trains that offer various routes that crisscross South and Southern Africa. Both trains are completely unique and entirely different from each other, but offer outstanding service, cuisine and attention to detail, with beautiful accommodation, dining and lounge carriages.

The BLUE TRAIN is a modern work-of-art and sophistication, where one is completely cushioned from the outside world.

ROVOS RAIL is lovingly restored vintage carriages that are pulled in part by restored steam locomotives which charms with opulent perfection.

Luxury Rail is an elegant mode of travel, through some of Southern Africa's most spectacular scenery that 'only trains will pass through'. A wonderful way to pamper oneself on holiday.

In Namibia, the DESERT EXPRESS showcases Namibia's spectacular sunrise and sunset, with the vast desert in-between. With weekly journeys between Windhoek and Swakopmund, guests are cocooned in understated comfort and welcomed with friendly Namibian hospitality.
