Break away from the well-travelled routes and take a journey through time in the magic of the Karoo. Glorious landscapes and a wealth of fascinating natural and human history will accompany you on the first leg of your journey on the Trans Karoo Express train from Cape Town to Matjiesfontein. You can sit back in the comfort of the dining car and let the beauty of the landscape and the sense of space opening up, draw you in.
After the first night, we travel deeper into the timeless space of the Karoo, spending two nights in the unique valley of the Swartberg mountains called "Gamkaskloof", far away from the surroundings we are accustomed to. There is grandeur, splendour, vastness and remoteness, but beyond that there is something that defies description: "The Mystique of Africa". Imagine silence, and the sky so deep you can listen to the stars, and air so pure you want to drink it like champagne.
By entering into an intimate relationship with nature we learn to lose the track of time and surrender our need for dominance and control, leaving us inspired and enchanted.
