Passengers are not accommodated on dedicated trains in Namibia, apart from the luxury Desert Express tourist train (see below). The StarLine scheduled service described above conveys passengers via special coaches hooked on the back of freight trains. These passenger coaches offer comfortable airline-style seating with air-conditioning and (sometimes) video entertainment. Vending machines provide refreshments on long journeys.

Precipitation is very low over the whole of Namibia. The days are hot, and the sun scorches the earth. Most of the time the land looks dry and parched. the silvery-yellowish grass grows in bunches and covers the reddish-brown soil only sparsely. Only in the short rainy season from December to February so the grassland and the shrubs become green. During this time, you can see carpets of wildflowers covering the usually plantless deserts of the south.
