About this

Rovos Rail offers a multi-day luxury train journey across South Africa, departing from Pretoria and traveling through diverse landscapes including the Highveld, Karoo desert, and coastal regions toward Cape Town. Passengers ride in restored vintage carriages with en-suite cabins, fine dining cars serving local cuisine, an observation lounge, and a spa, covering about 1,700 kilometers over two nights with stops at historic sites like Matjiesfontein. The experience focuses on slow-paced rail travel with off-train excursions, operating on select weekly schedules.
