It only runs in Namibia and not South Africa and it is HEAVEN. Worth every cent. I can highly recommend it.

EDIT:
Wow, thanks Smartass for posting that link - it is great. I went on the Shongololo in Namibia (through the dunes Windhoek to Swakop) and thought it only went in Namibia. But now I know better. Thanks, great answer (and question).

Yes, Shongololo means "little worm" .Fantastic and worth every moment and cent. You will enjoy a luxurious trip and fantastic views from your cabin. Here is the link to the website. I am a South African and yes, the train exist. I had my last ride during the Summer holidays. Excellent food also:
