Epic Rail Journey across Africa

There are many ways to spend your days in this diverse city. Bask in the sun on the famous city beaches, enjoy a hike up Table Mountain (or take the cable car if you don't feel up to the climb), take a cultural township tour or go on a tour to the beautiful Cape Winelands and sample some of the region's exquisite wines.

If you're up for a bit of shopping, there's no better place than the V&A Waterfront with its wide range of high-end stores and boutiques. A visit to the V&A's Two Oceans Aquarium comes highly recommended, as does a ferry trip out to Robben Island for a tour around the island's infamous prison. Many hours can be spent strolling around the city centre, relaxing at the pavement cafes and browsing local shops.

Today you will travel to Cape Town's central train station where you'll board the Rovos Rail Pride of Africa. This famous train - perhaps better viewed as a luxury hotel on wheels - will be your home for the next 14 nights.

The Rovos Rail Epic Africa Train Journey winds through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa. The train passes through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and on through Tanzania to its final destination - Dar es Salaam - stopping along the way so you can do some exploring and sightseeing on scheduled tours and excursions: highlights include a two-night Big 5 safari in Madikwe, history lectures, museum visits and a tour of Victoria Falls.

Sit back and take in the scenery from the comfort of the lounge and viewing area, enjoy delicious meals in the restaurants or nap in your comfortable compartment - every day will provide new views, stories and experiences.

Arrive in Dar es Salaam today, a bustling port city on Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast. After disembarking, you'll transfer to the airport and board a scheduled flight to the island of Pemba. Here you'll be met and transferred to The Fundu Lagoon Resort on the island's south-west coast. The last days of your tour will be spent here, relaxing in a tropical beach paradise.

After a long train journey, this is truly the perfect place to kick back and unwind. Spend your days soaking up the sun in this idyllic destination, lounging on powdery beaches and swimming in warm tropical waters.

Pamper yourself at the Fundu Fusion Spa, enjoying a range of relaxing treatments and massages or just relax on the resort's beautiful and exclusive beach or beside the infinity pool.

If you feel like getting active, the resort offers a wide range of exciting activities. Go scuba diving or snorkelling, enjoy a dhow cruise or take a historical tour of the capital of Pemba.

In the evenings you can look forward to exquisite dining and the chance to see this exotic resort transform into a romantic's candlelit paradise.

After one last breakfast in paradise, your transfer will take you back to the airport for your flight to Dar es Salaam. Here you can catch your connecting flight back home or continue your travels with another Go2Africa journey.
