ROVOS RAIL
The Pride of Africa
During our African journeys, we watch mesmerising panoramas unfold through the lounge-car windows aboard Rovos Rail. Relax and celebrate the opulence of yesteryear as we travel across goldfields and deserts, while the observation car brings us the full grandeur of Africa’s landscapes, courtesy of its floor-to-ceiling windows and open-air balcony.
Your All-inclusive Onboard Lifestyle
Everything has been considered and included during our fascinating Rovos Rail journeys. Join your Tour Hosts and fellow travellers to enjoy tea in the observation car. Meals are served in the train’s elegant dining car, while your suite – and 24-hour room service – awaits at the end of each night.
Enthralling Aspects of Africa
Our sightseeing stops encompass explorations of historic regions, whose architecture frequently stands in contrast to its untamed landscape. And we enjoy encounters with wildlife, as one can only do in Africa. While aboard our train, the vast terrain of this compelling continent remains our constant companion.
Dining in Style
Rovos Rail’s enthusiastic team of chefs take great pride in creating each meal with the freshest of local ingredients. We enjoy afternoon tea each day in the lounge or observation car, while the dining car hosts us for each evening meal, which is complemented by fine South African wines.
