Africa is a combination of unspoiled natural beauty and ultra modern luxury train travel. It holds an almost mystical charm for visitors from around the world who would like to experience a holiday on board this unique train. Rovos Rail has created an upper five star hotel on wheels and offers tour packages to a number of exotic destinations.
The coaches from their observation coach at the rear to the Edwardian styled dining cars have all been lovingly refurnished with minute attention to detail. Passenger comfort has been taken to a new level for train travel and whether sleeping in one of the opulent compartments or enjoying a drink in the lounge car passengers are pampered every kilometer along the way.
Passengers have the choice of three different grades of accommodation. All the compartments are en suite with the Royal Suites the most luxurious offering both an antique bath and shower in their bathrooms. The Deluxe and Pullman compartments have showers in their bathrooms together with all the modern conveniences one may expect from a luxury train.
Sitting down to a meal in the dining cars transports passengers to a gracious and long forgotten era when dining was considered an art. The decor and table settings are of the finest quality and set the tone for a gastronomic experience of local and international cuisine complemented by South African vintages that are considered the best of the best. A superb 24 hour room service menu is available on all the tours offered.
The management has planned their various tours to ensure that tourists are given an exciting mixture of modern and old sites to visit and man-made and natural panoramic scenery to view and enjoy. Currently the exciting 14 day Cape Town to Dar es Salaam tour is on offer.
For this two week trip passengers embark in Cape Town and travel north through South Africa and a two night sojourn in the Madikwe Game Reserve. There they can view Africa's Big 5 and other fauna and flora. The tour continues through Botswana and Zimbabwe to Vic Falls and the Zambezi River. Passengers disembark and stay in a hotel before embarking and travelling through Zambia to Dar es Salaam. Throughout the journey an on-board historian delivers lectures of general interest on the various countries and their checkered history.
The entire two weeks is filled with visits to places of interest and panoramic scenery that will never be forgotten. On board this luxury train travel personnel has been trained to cater to their passengers needs to ensure they will always think back to their train safari as the best holiday they ever had.
