South Africa: Rovos Rail Luxury Train Journey

Deceleration as a current luxury trend - Experience the beauty of South Africa on an unforgettable journey in the world's most luxurious train. The beautifully recreated trains offer accommodations of the highest standard and combine the wealth of a bygone era with subtle modern innovations. Travel from Pretoria to Cape Town through breathtaking landscapes and enjoy unique African experiences. This 1,600-kilometer journey is the perfect illustration of South Africa as a world of its own within a country. Pass through the landscapes of the gold-rich Highveld to the dry expanses of the great Karoo, the spectacular mountain ranges, and the picturesque wine regions of the Cape to the mother city of South Africa, Cape Town, which lies in the cradle of the imposing Table Mountain, Devil's Peak, and Lion's Head. Highlights of the northern and southern routes include a visit to the historic village of Matjiesfontein. This authentic, perfectly preserved Victorian village – founded by Mr. Logan in 1890 as a stopover – also boasts an impressive museum on the platform. A stop in Kimberley also provides the opportunity for a city tour, a visit to the Mine Museum, and the world's largest man-made excavation, the 'Big Hole'. We would also be happy to organize further tours and/or premium accommodation in the arrival location Cape Town (Pretoria) and surrounding areas. This journey is also possible in the reverse direction.
