Africa's spectacular landscapes and visit interesting tourist attractions
along the way. Once you are on board The Blue Train, you will not

Desert Express
Namibia
is renowned for its wide open spaces, its spectacular sunrises and
sunsets. The Desert Express schedule has been designed to allow
passengers to take in all of these. Departures are on a Tuesday
and Friday from Windhoek, and Wednesday and Saturday from Swakopmund.
Seemingly endless semi-arid savannah, wide expanses of gravel plains
and golden-red dune seas lie ahead as you embark on a magical journey
that will stay with you long after you have reached your destination.
