African Explorer

Your hotel on wheels, the renovated African Explorer train, has sleeper compartments in two compartment categories with double or single beds.

All compartments are equipped with individually adjustable air conditioning, power sockets (220/230 V) with adapter, a small safe, towels, hairdryer, a small bottle of water per day of travel and small toiletries. The beds are made up daily by the staff. The windows in all sleeping compartments can be opened (blinds and sun blinds are available). Larger items of luggage can be stowed under the beds and on the upper luggage racks. The rolling veranda of the African Explorer is the open viewing platform of the cozy lounge car; a paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike - the unobstructed view of the wilderness not only facilitates sightings of rare animals, it also makes photography particularly attractive. There are no distracting reflections or streaks, as is often the case with pictures taken through windows, but you are always in direct contact with nature. This makes your trip a real safari on rails.

Delicious African and European specialties are served in the two air-conditioned restaurant cars. Always a special highlight: the dinners, which are served as 3-course meals in one sitting.
In the bar car, you can relax with a cool Windhoek Lager or one of the famous South African red wines, listen to on-board lectures by your tour guide, devote yourself to your on-board reading and have stimulating conversations with your fellow passengers.

The approx. 7 m² compartments in the Elephant category offer you a private bathroom with toilet, shower and washbasin. You can choose between two single beds or a double bed. The compartments in this category have a narrow, high closet with clothes hangers and a bedside cabinet. The African Explorer has a total of 5 carriages, each with 5 compartments in the Elephant category.

The Leopard category compartments are approx. 10 m² in size and have two lower single beds or one double bed. In addition to the compartment facilities of the Elephant category, they have a small seating area and are characterized by their advantageous location on the train with a shorter walk to the restaurant. There are a total of 5 carriages, each with 3 compartment suites. In the Kruger National Park you stay in particularly beautiful deluxe rooms.
