Africa has called many: Livingstone, Schweitzer, Rhodes, Karen Blixen and numerous others. They all came - hurt and disillusioned by life - and they all were forever changed by this ancient land.
Is it not time to give your inner voice calling you to the great open spaces of Africa? Here on board our luxurious train you can experience your own African dream as you travel in comfort and style through savannah, bushfeld and desert. |
| The Desert Express has been winding through the beautiful Namib Desert since April 1998. It was designed and built by Namibia's leading engineers and designers, using the most modern technology and equipment available.
This train was truly born in Africa, and you will see the unique colours and textures of Africa reflected everywhere: the burnt amber leather upholstery, the rich golden and red woods, the silver lightness of glass. Animal motifs taken from the surroundings tastefully echo the landscape through which you travel. |

Namibia is a true experience of the soul. This huge country, most of it comprising of huge unpopulated stretches of arid land. The unrivalled solitude and spectacular sunsets makes this an unforgettable destination.
The Desert Express winds its way through bushveld populated with a great variety of trees and animals. Discover oryx, kudu, giraffe and eland, as well as a multitude of birds. |
The bushveld gradually changes to savannah dotted with the nutritious Camelthorn and other trees of the Acacia family. As the Savannah slips into the semi-arid desert, nature compensates for the small amount of animals and plantlife by painting the sky in spectacular colours. |
| Slowly, the semi-desert changes into the true Namib with huge gold and red sand dunes. This is the home of the famous Welwitschia mirabilis, a plant that is unique to the Namib and can reach 1500 years!
The staff on board the Desert Express are more than hospitality staff, they all share a deep and burning love for Africa and have an astonishing knowledge of her secrets. They will make your journey an unforgettable one and will pamper you with their friendly Namibian hospitality and excellent service. |
