The legend has soared to new heights with the extension of The Ghan journey to Darwin. When The Ghan first departed Adelaide for Alice Springs, it was always intended that it would one day travel through to Darwin. More than 70 years on, that dream has become reality.

The Ghan is now run by Great Southern Railway, and has the same classes of accommodation and facilities – Gold Kangaroo sleepers, lounge and restaurant, Red Kangaroo sleepers, reclining ‘dayniter’ seats, lounge and self-service restaurant.

The train travels leisurely between Victoria Falls and Johannesburg making numerous calls at destinations in Mozambique, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. As the tracks unfurl you’ll gain rare insight into the cultural and geographical cocktail that makes Southern Africa so vibrant and exciting.

Explore the magnificent Victoria Falls as well as cultural and historic sites including Great Zimbabwe, the ancient capital of a now lost tribe.

During the sixteen days of travel across some of the world’s most spectacular, and yet to be truly discovered countries you will experience a wide range of contrasting, but equally jaw-dropping sights.

As the train travels the length and breadth of the country guests can enjoy the great variety of landscapes, shorelines, cultures and lifestyles that the “Rainbow Nation” has to offer. From Cape Town to Pretoria you will see the awesome features that make this country as popular with visitors as it is revered by its inhabitants.

With abundant wildlife and renowned features such as the imposing might of Table mountain the Good Hope Adventure is sure to provide you with some wonderful memories.

Travel straight to the heart of the Highlands. Through wild countryside and along virgin stretches of coast, with glimpses of a majestic stag or soaring eagle, this is a voyage of discovery with unrivalled access to exceptional sights.

Step on board and into another world – of vintage razzmatazz and Art Deco style. This unforgettable journey of great entertainment and spectacular English destinations centres on the train’s original 1920s carriages.
