everything is possible’

Beautiful Africa rewards visitors with the exciting thrill of discovery.

From the wonderful Victoria Falls to the Ngorongoro crater, this extraordinary continent is a magnificent destination for those prepared to step off the more beaten holiday tracks.

Africa’s wildlife is unmatched: not only the ‘big five’ – lion, elephant, buffalo,Sexy silk dresses, leopard and rhinoceros – but a bewildering array of other creatures from gorillas to crocodiles await to delight the traveller.

Yet Africa has far more to offer than ‘just’ magnificent scenery and extraordinary wildlife. It is believed that mankind originated here, and this huge continent – covering more than a fifth of the earth’s land mass – boasts the results of centuries of constant human endeavour, from Egypt’s pyramids to the famous Cape Winelands of Southern Africa.

Just as symbolic of mankind’s efforts is the Cape to Cairo railway – the 19th Century dream of empire-builder Cecil Rhodes. He never saw the great project finished (there’s still a 500-mile gap in the rails even today), but what has been built is an extraordinary tribute to man’s ingenuity and it is the inspiration for our very own unique route northbound aboard the luxury train from Cape Town to Cairo.

It is also the perfect way to see this remarkable continent at first hand, in luxury. The epic journey over 6,000 miles from one end of the Africa to the other is now possible and to complete this immense voyage we use a combination of the Pride of Africa train, a private jet and a five star Lake Nasser cruise ship.

In a world where ‘everything is possible’, this is truly a unique adventure.
