Rovos Rail is one of the most luxurious trains in the world.
This 1600 km meander by Rovos Rail is a perfect illustration of South Africa as a world in one country.
With Rovos Rail you will travel the grasslands of the gold-rich Highveld to the haunting barrenness of the Great Karoo; trundle through the spectacular mountain ranges and scenic beauty of the Cape Winelands.
The journey ends in either Cape Town or Pretoria (depending on which way to decide to travel).
If you end your Rovos Rail train journey in Cape Town you will view the majestic Table Mountain as you enter the Mother City with Devil’s Peak and Lion’s Head part of this 7 Wonders on the Natural World.
Highlights of the north-and southbound Rovos Rail route include a visit to the historical village of Matjiesfontein – the authentic perfectly preserved Victorian Village – founded by Mr Logan as a refreshment stop in 1890 – also boasts an impressive museum and platform.
Another stop on the luxury train journey from Rovos Rail is made in Kimberley providing an opportunity to enjoy a city tour and a visit to the Diamond Mine Museum and the world’s largest man-made excavation, the Big Hole.
