RIDE THE RAIL Train Journey through the Heart of Africa

Rovos Rail offers, quite possibly, the world’s most luxurious trains. From its elegant private suites, to the discreet and friendly service, five-star cuisine, as well as a selection of the finest South African wines, Rovos Rail harks back to the golden era of rail travel, and the romance of African exploration.

Your private suite is elegantly designed with handsome wood-panelling and period Edwardian features. Each has its own private lounge area and full en-suite bathroom. During your stay, an enthusiastic team of chefs will attend to your culinary needs, with a particular emphasis on using local ingredients and preparing traditional African dishes, such as game specialities.

On this epic journey from Cape Town to Dar Es Salaam, guests will enjoy absolutely stunning natural scenery. Passing through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania, the 15-day adventure will create memories to last a lifetime. You will visit the world's largest man-made excavation; the Big Hole, spend two nights in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve, and stay in one of the world's best known luxury hotels: the Victoria Falls Hotel. A highlight of the journey comes as the train descends into the magnificent Rift Valley. Witness outstanding views as the train negotiates the tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the spectacular escarpment. Your trip will end in bustling Dar es Salaam.
