Southern Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa

By Elyse Green

Sure, you've tracked lions and photographed charging elephants, but that doesn't mean you've seen Southern Africa. Some of the world's finest vineyards, huge sunflower farms, and Karoo thirstlands full of wild ostrich: These are what you'll be chasing on the famed, lavish Blue Train. And you'll hit the can't-miss cities as well: historic Pretoria (set amid the violet blooms of its famous Jacaranda trees) and one of the earth's most beautiful locales: Cape Town. Tickets are priced seasonally. See www.bluetrain.co.za.
