Rovos Rail

Celebrating 30 years in 2019, Rovos Rail has earned its international reputation for truly world class travel experiences. A privately owned company with its 60 acre headquarters at Rovos Rail Station in Pretoria, the company has evolved from one overnight trip to offering eight different safaris across Southern, East- and West- Africa lasting from 48 hours to two weeks. Bespoke train safaris combine magnificent scenery with the glamour and excitement of the golden age of leisure travel. With discreet and friendly service, five-star cuisine and a selection of South Africa's finest wines, Rovos Rail harks back to an elegant era, encompassing the timeless grace of grand African exploration by train. Trains depart regularly from Rovos Rail Station in Pretoria for Cape Town, Durban and Victoria Falls. Longer journeys are also on offer, such as the nine-day safari to Namibia, an epic two-week adventure from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam or the newly launched 15-day sojourn from Tanzania to Angola. For the adventurer, the Shongololo Express offers two 12-night itineraries through Southern Africa and Namibia as well as a 14-night South African tour with golfing options.
