WELCOME TO THE
Shongololo Express
Great Southern Africa Train Adventures
The Shongololo Express provides a special touring experience for visitors to Southern Africa. The journeys of between 12 to 15 days traverse South Africa, eSwatini, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique with a variety of off-train excursions. Accommodating 72 guests in two categories of comfortable en-suite cabins with double or twin beds, the classic wood-panelled carriages hark back to a simpler, more elegant era encompassing the romance of African exploration.
We look forward to welcoming you on board.
