Wide savannahs, flat and endless to the horizon, green bush landscapes with magnificent acacias, metropolises and the mighty Victoria Falls glide leisurely past your large panoramic train window. Here and there you spot impalas, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes... You put your hand on the glass, almost as if you could touch the scenery out there with your hands, which flickers past you like a film. The train stops. You are in another world. You step out of the comfortable luxury train of the 20th century and into the wilderness.
