Stepping Back in Time in Africa with Tourico Vacations

Stepping Back in Time in Africa with Tourico Vacations – Today’s pace of living starkly contrasts with the average lifestyle just 30 years ago. We’re constantly inundated with stimuli, and while the ease of access to information – literally at your fingertips – is certainly beneficial in some respects, getting away and actually physically unplugging isn’t just welcomed, it’s necessary.

Enter in today’s trendy buzzwords, like ‘the slow life’ or ‘digitally detoxing’. But these are more than just trends – they are indicators that, as a society, we need to get off the ever-spinning carousel, slow down, and maybe even travel back in time to when things were much simpler. These adventures in Africa could be just the ticket.

Ever wonder what life was like in the 1930s? Can you just imagine! Well, now it’s possible on the African steam engines, also known as the Rovos Rail. Each train has its own fascinating history that originated in the early 1900s – setting the perfect stage for a bygone era’s adventure. While phones are permitted aboard, you’ll be gently invited to turn off your devices to spend some time in the club car or the Observation car just taking in the ever-changing landscapes.

Your sleeper car has been decadently appointed in mid- to late art deco, but with all of the modern amenities you’ve come to love. You’ll be lulled into a deep slumber as the rail makes its way towards your destination. And that destination can be nearly anywhere in South Africa, from Hwange and Vic Falls to the indomitable Namibian landscapes. Or venture further through the Karoo. Or begin your trip in the east and head throughout the west to see all that Africa has to offer. The Rovos Rail is perfect whether you’re single, part of a couple, or have many in your party. If you’re hosting a special event, you can book as many cars as necessary for your party. Not only is the adventure timeless, but it’s one you’ll never forget.

If there was any time or place you would go if time travel of the science fiction variety were really true – where would you go? Who would you mingle with?
