African Explorer

African Explorer compartment categories

Elephant category: Each compartment is about 7 m² and has a private bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin. You can choose between a double bed (crosswise: approx. 189 x 160 cm; lengthwise: approx. 189 x 189 cm) or two single beds (each approx. 189 x 75 cm). A wardrobe with hangers also helps keep things tidy during the journey.

Leopard category: At around 10 m², these generous compartments offer plenty of space and comfort. You can choose between a double bed (crosswise: approx. 189 x 160 cm; lengthwise: approx. 189 x 189 cm) or two single beds (each approx. 189 x 75 cm). As well as a private bathroom, the Leopard suites have a cosy seating area that invites you to relax. Another advantage is the carriages' preferred position in the train, which means a shorter walk to the restaurant.
