Since its establishment more
than 15 years ago, Rovos Rail has earned an international reputation
for its truly world-class travel experiences. Step aboard the
wood-panelled coaches - classics remodelled and refurbished to
mint condition - and enjoy fine cuisine in five-star luxury as
some of the most varied scenery imaginable unfolds beyond the
windows. Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a by-gone era,
when privileged travellers experienced the magic and mystery of
Africa in a relaxed and elegant fashion.
In a series of journeys lasting from 24 hours to a
fortnight, the Pride of Africa links some of Africa's greatest
destinations from Cape Town at the tip of Africa to Dar-Es-Salaam
in Tanzania, from scenic splendours as diverse as the game reserves
of Mpumalanga to the Victoria Falls, from the desert landscapes
of Namibia and the stark beauty of the Karoo to the lush canefields
of KwaZulu-Natal and the magnificent Garden Route along the Cape South Coast.
The trains - which
may be hauled by steam, diesel or electric locomotives at various
stages of the journey - carry a maximum of 72 passengers in 36
superbly appointed suites. Pride of place in the Rovos stable
goes to the historic and newly rebuilt Capital Park station and
locomotive yard, which is the heart and new headquarters of this
private railway company.
