Agents save big with South African train journeys
Goway, in conjunction with the Shongololo Express, is offering agents a free train journey along with 50% off for a travel companion when making at least one Shongololo booking with Goway. Additional savings are available for clients on Goway’s Southern Cross (Southbound journey) for travel on the April 1 and Sept. 30 departures, which includes a choice of lodge accommodations in Hwange National Park or Kruger Park with one free night stay, plus dinner, breakfast, two game drives and a free Zambezi Cruise. The Shongololo Express is a South African cruise-train that carries its own fleet of mini vans used to take passengers on daily guided sightseeing drives. This unique train safari is one of the most convenient ways of seeing Southern Africa with travel between destinations at night, and exploration during the day, discovering regional attractions on board air-conditioned vehicles. The train has classic 1950’s carriages with accommodations in four two-person categories: Emerald, Commodore and Gold cabins with ensuite, Ivory cabins with shared facilities. Breakfast and dinner are prepared on board and served daily in the restaurant, with lunches at guests own expense.
