Description
Discover the world's most luxurious trains and relive a bygone era, when the journey itself was the most significant part of the experience; rather than simply getting there. A journey where the passenger becomes a real traveller and is able to experience the much more gracious way of travel - in a living recreation of the golden age of rail.

A luxury train journey through Zimbabwe from Bulawayo to the natural wonder of the world, Victoria Falls. Reliving the golden age of the steam train, the rail route travels through some of the continent's best game country. The railway was a central plank of a planned British colonization of the entire African continent by Cecil John Rhodes, and the route is rich in historical traditions. Rhodes' private carriage is still used by the Train De Luxe on the journey.

4 out of 5 stars Informative and good quality.......2007-01-10

For the price, it can't be beat.

I preferred the Blue Train DVD, but this one has more detail on historic background and culture, esp. of Zimbabwe. Dates to around 2002 or so, so not sure whether it still runs.

5 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2006-01-31

Fantastic camera shots and narration; it certainly makes you want to take this trip! Wish it showed more animals; we only saw elephants and other common animals.
