Railway journeys

There’s something really very special about travelling by train, the gentle hum of the engine the soundtrack to staggering, ever-changing scenery. It’s also a seamless and stress-free way of getting from A to B, soaking up the views at your leisure. Whether it’s a train ride to the gateway of Machu Picchu, a pretty trundle through Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, or a multi-day route across the plains of southern Africa, rail travel invites you to slow down and soak it all in. Bonus points for the snack trolley.
