Rovos Rail

The stay

Since its establishment in 1989, Rovos Rail has earned an international reputation for its truly world-class travel experiences. Bespoke train safaris through the heart of Africa combine magnificent scenery with the glamour and excitement of the golden age of leisure travel. The beautifully rebuilt wood-panelled trains each carry a maximum of 72 passengers in 36 superbly appointed suites.

Travellers journey aboard Rovos Rail in suites that feature air conditioning, tea facilities and private bathrooms stocked with robes, slippers and bespoke amenities. Wood-panelled carriages provide a calm setting for meals served at linen-covered tables, while an internal telephone system, USB ports and room service keep guests connected and comfortable throughout the journey.

The train forms a seamless chapter in a tailor-made safari from Pretoria, allowing guests to alternate between game reserves and rail travel without changing hotels. Royal, Deluxe and Pullman suites offer privacy between excursions, and the absence of fixed meal plans lets planners match dining times to wildlife schedules.
