Rovos Rail

Since steaming into life in 1989, Rovos Rail has earned a reputation for its world-class travel experiences. The distinctive green livery of these elegant trains can be seen gracing the railways of Africa, recapturing the romance of locomotive travel and offering various journeys to suit adventurous travellers.

Take your place in the lovingly refurbished coaches with gleaming wood panelling, comfortable furnishings, modern conveniences and surprisingly spacious interiors. Sit back as the train traverses the African landscape, taking in the sights, sounds and smells from the windows. Stay in any of the private suites each with en suite bathroom and air conditioning. For added comfort stay in the Royal Suites, complete with king sized bed, lounge area and bathrooms featuring both a shower and Victorian bathtub. Be looked after by discreet and friendly staff serving you fine cuisine and African wines in the dining cars, as well as overseeing all aspects of life on the train. A Rovos Rail experience extends beyond your time spent onboard, starting with your warm welcome at the trains’ private Capital Park Station in Pretoria. Linking some of the continent’s greatest destinations, off-train excursions and safaris characterise this Pride of Africa adventure trail.
