and the choice is entirely up to you. Some activities occur simultaneously, giving you
freedom of choice.

On board the train, you’ll dine on uniquely southern African cuisine, ranging from Cape
Dutch to Malay and authentic African dishes. Each meal is complemented by a superb
selection of highly commended South African wines. After dinner, enjoy a drink at the bar
