Rovos Rail – Pretoria – Victoria Falls – 3 Nights
Three nights and four days, from the Highveld north to the Zambezi, across South Africa and Zimbabwe. This is the shorter of the two Pretoria to Victoria Falls runs, and a good one if time is tight: it carries you from the capital up through the South African Bushveld, across the Limpopo into Zimbabwe, past Bulawayo, into the elephant country of Hwange for a game drive, and on to the Falls. It pairs a real safari excursion with the romance of the train, a moving hotel of wood-panelled suites carrying no more than seventy-two guests, and finishes at one of the great natural sights of Africa. The country outside the window does much of the work between stops, with the open observation car at the rear the place to watch it from.
Rovos Rail – Durban – Pretoria
Two nights and three days from the Indian Ocean up to the Highveld, through the battlefields country of KwaZulu-Natal. This is the Durban to Pretoria run, and it makes a good first taste of the train or an easy add-on to a longer trip. In three days it takes in one of South Africa’s best-known ceramics studios, the Anglo-Boer War battlefields of northern KwaZulu-Natal, and a private Big Five reserve, climbing from the warm coast at Durban up through the Midlands and the war country to the gold-rush Highveld around Pretoria. It is a scenic and historical sampler rather than a deep safari, and the train, a moving hotel of wood-panelled suites carrying no more than seventy-two guests, is as much the point as the stops.
Rovos Rail – Pretoria – Durban
Two nights and three days from the Highveld down to the Indian Ocean, through the battlefields country of KwaZulu-Natal. This is one of the shorter Rovos journeys, run in the warmer months, and it makes a good first taste of the train or an easy add-on to a longer trip. In three days it takes in a private Big Five reserve, the Anglo-Boer War battlefields of northern KwaZulu-Natal, and one of South Africa’s best-known ceramics studios, descending from the gold-rush Highveld around Pretoria to the warm coast at Durban. It is a scenic and historical sampler rather than a deep safari, and the train, a moving hotel of wood-panelled suites carrying no more than seventy-two guests, is as much the point as the stops.
Rovos Rail – Pretoria – Cape Town
Two nights and three days, around 1,600 kilometres from the Highveld to the Cape, across the breadth of South Africa. This is the classic Rovos journey, the original line the company was built around, running from Pretoria down to Cape Town through some of the country’s most varied country. In two nights it crosses the gold-rush Highveld, stops at the diamond town of Kimberley, runs the length of the Great Karoo, pauses at the Victorian railway village of Matjiesfontein, and descends through the mountains into the Cape Winelands to finish under Table Mountain. It is often the first taste people get of the train, and a good one: short enough to add to a longer trip, long enough to settle into the unhurried rhythm of a moving hotel of wood-panelled suites carrying no more than seventy-two guests. The country outside the window does much of the work, and the two excursions, Kimberley and Matjiesfontein, are well chosen.
Rovos Rail – Cape Town – Pretoria
Two nights and three days, around 1,600 kilometres from the Cape to the Highveld, across the breadth of South Africa. This is the northbound run of the classic Rovos journey, the line the company was built around, from Cape Town up to Pretoria through some of the country’s most varied country. In two nights it climbs out of the Cape Winelands through the mountains, runs the length of the Great Karoo, pauses at the Victorian railway village of Matjiesfontein, stops at the diamond town of Kimberley, and crosses the gold-rush Highveld to finish near Pretoria. It is often the first taste people get of the train, and a good one: short enough to add to a longer trip, long enough to settle into the unhurried rhythm of a moving hotel of wood-panelled suites carrying no more than seventy-two guests. The two excursions, Matjiesfontein and Kimberley, are well chosen, and the country outside the window does much of the rest.
