Overview

Glide from the bustling energy of Nairobi to the sun-drenched Indian Ocean coast aboard Kenya's sleek Madaraka Express, a modern rail marvel that doubles as a moving safari. Press your face to the panoramic windows as the train cuts through the heart of Tsavo—where rust-red elephants amble past the tracks and giraffes peer curiously from the treetops. Air-conditioned carriages, onboard dining, and multiple daily departures make this the most scenic and efficient way to transition from a thrilling wildlife safari to a blissful beach holiday on the Kenyan coast.
