We were treated to a feast ,local & South African families looked after us..Mr.& Mrs Hart,if any one of your family or decendants ever read this blog..I still recall your hospitaly, thank you.

Seeing the real people of Africa, notice the man with one leg riding the bike, made me pause and realize this train trip though lovely, has nothing really to do with life in Africa, it glides above the Living.

A beautifully narrated journey. I am a proud child of Africa. Born and raised in Zambia ( then Northern Rhodesia ) I attended high school as a border in Bulawayo Zimbabwe ( Rhodesia ) and I now live in South Africa since 1981. I have seen Victoria Falls a few times and I have visited many beautiful Game Reserves. This video takes its viewers on a wonderful African journey 👍

The narrator's deep smooth voice , the soothing music and the enchanting landscape make for one of the best documentaries I ever saw. This truly is the pride of Africa.

Took this train from Victoria Falls to Capetown about 25 years ago. The route was curtailed because of civil disturbances. Great food. Wonderful experience.

Talk about a bucket-list item! I've was in Zimbabwe in 1990 (before it was ruined by Mugabe) and Ghana in 1974 for the Peace Corps and have always wanted to go back for more, because Africa is a truly magical place that transported me back to humanity's original homeland. I swear that the landscapes and animals stirred some ancient memories locked in my DNA, as close to a religious experience as anyone can get, including us skeptics. Everyone who's been there will know what I mean!
