Rovos Rail Journeys: Historic South Africa
Recreate the romance of the golden age of luxury train travel aboard Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa as it travels through some of the continent’s most beautiful scenery. Ride the rails in style aboard beautiful wood-paneled heritage coaches that have been carefully rebuilt and are drawn by steam, diesel and electric locomotives.
Rovos Rail’s opulent suites combine elegance of a bygone era with subtle modern innovations. The use of traditional furnishings and period decor in the 1920s dining car and observation car, which has an open balcony, creates an elegant atmosphere in which to relax and watch the passing scenery.
Dinner, served on fine china, crisp linen and silver is an event worth getting dressed up for.
