G´Night, Brent and Good Morning to All! The birds made such a heck of a noise at day break, I had no other chance than to get up and start the day! up831 - I agree, I couldn´t possibly eat that much. My (real) regular breakfast is just a small bowl of chocolate muesli and two mugs of coffee with it. That´s plenty for a good start into the day! The month is slowly coming to an end and so is Ulrich´s Train Movie Theatre month. There are still a few days left, in which I will present extraordinary trains around the world. Today´s feature takes us to Africa - to the southernmost tip of this fascinating, but also a little frightening contintent. An African Fairy Tale  - Riding The Pride Of Africa This epic 15-day train journey travels through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania and is one of the most famous in the world. The sojourn begins in Cape Town taking guests to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, the diamond town of Kimberley and the capital city of Pretoria for short tours followed by two nights in the Madikwe Game Reserve. Continue through Botswana into Zimbabwe where guests overnight at the Victoria Falls Hotel. After crossing the mighty Zambezi River, the train joins the Tazara line in Zambia and continues to Chisimba Falls where guests enjoy a bush walk. The train climbs to the Tanzanian border then descends into the Great Rift Valley negotiating the tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the spectacular escarpment. Climbing again, it traverses the Selous Game Reserve – the largest on the continent and a vision of timeless Africa – before the bustling arrival in Dar es Salaam the following day. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-iJEDPqwO8" width="425" height="350"></iframe> A journey with The Pride of Africa is ceertainly a once in a lifetime experience, open to only very few. I am happy to share this video with you - a German production for an educational TV channel, hence the narration in the best of Queen´s English! Enjoy!
