Victoria Falls on Zambia-Zimbabwe border is arguably the most famous and best tourist attraction in the whole Southern African region. Many visitors travel there from Johannesburg. Various airlines fly to Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe or Livingstone Airport in Zambia from Johannesburg. Thanks to competition, prices on these routes are kept reasonable. But travelling to Victoria Falls by land is still cheaper, albeit much slower option. The trip can be done either through Botswana or Zimbabwe (or as a combination). It makes sense to stop at local attractions on the way, but is some cases it is desirable to travel there directly.

I travelled from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls by bus and train combination. First by a Greyhound bus to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, then by train to Victoria Falls, though the train never reached its destination.

The bus arrived the Zimbabwean border around 5.45. This was later than I had expected, even though I did not notice any significant delays before this. South African exit immigration was surprisingly slow, there were three officers, but at times one of them would suddenly leave their desk for 10 minutes or so.

After the delayed bus arrived in Bulawayo, I headed straight to the railway station. Though a walkable distance, I opted to spend a few bucks for a cab to take me there. The ticket counter was open, in contrast to some reports it would be closed between 10:00 to 15:30. Good news was that there would be a train tonight. Bad news, it would go only to Hwange (or Wankie, as the town was officially known until 1982), some 100 kilometres short of Vic Falls. This was due to a derailment of another train. I would then have to arrange my transport from Hwange to Victoria Falls myself. After a while of pondering I decided to take the train anyway. It was too late to take the Intercape afternoon bus to Vic Falls, so the only other option would have been overnighting in Bulawayo.

Then a five and half hour wait until the train would depart. I opted to stay waiting at the railway station, as getting around was a problem, not only for carrying (too) heavy backpack, but also the plentiful afternoon rain.

The first class had a low occupancy. There was nobody sharing my 2-person cabin. Some passengers who had been originally sharing cabins were separated into empty cabins. It is hardly a tourist train, as a sole elderly South African man was the only other white person on this train.

This is Zimbabwe, not Germany, yet the train departed exactly on time 19:30! It was already dark, so no much scenery watching. Without a dining car, no eating either. Lights were working fine, but again there are others reporting contrasting experiences. Having spent the previous night on a bus, not sleeping any much, I took out my sleeping bag (no bedding was provided) and went sleeping early.

There were frequent stops in the middle of nowhere, yet several passengers were always leaving or boarding the train. When at Dete station around 3 AM, I looked at the map realising we were just 50km from Hwange, meaning we would arrive around four or five in the morning! This would means an inconvenient arrival time, but also passing through the Hwange National Park during the night. Had the train been several hours late, in daylight, the chances of seeing wildlife would have been good. The train moved last stretch very slowly, arriving at Hwange around 6:00 (actually Thomson Junction Station just after Hwange).

Hey, going overland (and over-sea!) is way more exciting than flying anyways ? I actually took the ferry coming back from Morroco, and stepping onto that super modern European liner after the craziness of Moroccan busses and trains and taxis was some serious culture shock!!

THANK YOU for the openly honest approach to enjoying the trek to Marrakech! We are going as a family next Spring and we love to take the unbeaten path wherever we go. In Ecuador we took the train from Quito to Cotopaxi instead of the bus and the cultural aspect far outweighed any convenience of a faster means of transportation.

Safe, comfortable South African trainsContrary to what you may have heard and to what many middle-class South Africans may tell you, taking the train is a remarkably safe, civilised & enjoyable way to travel between cities in South Africa. In fact, you'd be crazy not to consider it. Thereare several completely different train services:

At 07:10 local time (05:10 UTC), a passenger train ran into the rear of another at Denver station. One person was killed and around 240 were injured,[2] two seriously.[3] The trains were a Metro Plus train with 700 people on board, and a Business Express train with 200 people on board.[2] The Business Express train was travelling from Pretoria to Park Station, Johannesburg,[4] as was the Metro Plus train.[5] The Metro Plus train was stationary at the station.[3] The person killed was a security guard on the Metro Plus train.[6] The driver of the Business Express train was airlifted to hospital.[2]

The two trains involved were Metroplus Express Train 0600 and Business Express Train 1602, both of which are operated by PRASA Rail.[1] PRASA operates commuter rail services as Metrorail. Metrorail operates in the Gauteng province of the country as a separate region, known as Metrorail Gauteng. Within Metrorail Gauteng, the accident happened on the line serving Pretoria, Kempton Park, Germiston and Johannesburg. Business Express is the luxury commuter service brand of Metrorail.[7]

The driver of the leading train, the Metroplus Express 0600 had stopped at a signal at Denver station at 7:06 because the driver could not read the signal due to the bright sunlight. He tried to contact the Centralised Traffic Control Office at George Goch via radio, but the communications systems were out of service at the centre due to a power failure.

Meanwhile, the following train was travelling over the speed limit at about 91 km/h (57 mph) in a 70 km/h (43 mph) zone. It failed to slow at a yellow caution signal nor stop at the red danger signal. The driver applied the brakes 332 m (1,089 ft) from the stopped train, but the train only slowed to 61 km/h (38 mph) at the point of impact. At 91 km/h, the train would have required 510 m (1,670 ft) to stop.

There is something wonderfully magical about travelling by train. It conjures a sense of nostalgia for an era so utopian. Long distance train travel used to be purely for practical reasons. People, in the past, would use the train to get from point A to B, but today, when life refuses to slow down; taking the train might just be what you need. The train ride from Johannesburg to Cape Town is a picturesque paradise. The train glides through the most beautiful parts of the country that we only see in coffee table books. You can fly from Johannesburg to Cape Town and arrive in less than two hours or you can take the scenic route and see the country in greater detail.

The route between Johannesburg and Cape Town is a beautiful blend of semi desert landscape with unending mountains and greenery. The land is vast and will offer rolling hills and flat lands alike. The 27 hour train journey starts in Johannesburg Park Station and segues through sixteen beautiful small towns and four provinces namely; Gauteng, Northwest, Northern Cape and Western Cape. The journey starts off with cramped squatter camps become townships which disappear into sunflower fields and eventually become Cape Winelands. If you are lucky, you might even spot some wildlife on the way. Just remember to keep your eyes peeled and have your camera ready. In some stations, the train stops for longer and passengers can disembark, stretch their legs and catch some fresh air. This is also a good time to take that perfect train station selfie. When the train stops in Worcester, be ready to buy the biggest and freshest grapes.

Nowadays, one experiences a lot of luxury and style while the beautiful countryside of South Africa passes by your train window from the comfort of the lounge car or club car. And of course, every journey starts with a warm-hearted South African welcome that is defined by personal attention. And when choosing the right route, you might end up staring at the Table Mountain himself, when the train slowly approaches the main station of Cape Town.

When travelling in Myanmar, you will visit many places to remind you that Myanmar (Burma) was once a British colony. Amongst these reminders you will find the railway network, and one of the greatest experiences in Myanmar is a train ride from Hsipaw to Manadalay.

The train journey from Zermatt to Gornergrat takes about 35 minutes and takes you through stunning landscapes with the majestic Matterhorn in your line of view. When you reach Gornergrat, you behold an awe inspiring panorama stretching out in front of you with the Matterhorn dominating the scene. The train itself is a technical wonder having made its first trip in the year 1898. The fully electric cog railway is a chugging testimony to the genius of the engineering minds of the 19th century who gave shape to it.

As the historic train chugs along climbing the height of 3,089 metres, the exhilarating scenery outside, white snow creating an intriguing mosaic with the brown of rocks, makes for a stunning sight. One of the most fascinating sights as the train curves around a bend, is the view of the engine meandering towards its destination.

As the train took us further up north, the scenery changes to show us glimpses of a jungle. We could tell when the areas became steep because the train would slow down, allowing us to savour more of nature. Of course, I did not catch the moments that took my breath away. That means if you are curious about this journey, you need to go and see it for yourself!

Hey all, I don't see a lot here about budget travel in southern Africa. Is it that it can't really be done, or that people just don't do it? I'm considering Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and rural South Africa. has anyone done this route before on a budget and can chime in on what to expect cost wise? I know that a lot of it is linked by some not so reliable train travel, but how about accommodation for the night? Thanks! :) 006ab0faaa
