Since the establishment of Rovos Rail more than 15 years ago, it has earned a worldwide reputation for its truly first rate travel experience.

Stepping aboard the classic remodelled and refurbished wooden panelled coaches, guests can enjoy superb 5 star cuisine, a warm and friendly staff and luxury accommodation, as some of the most mixed scenery imaginable unfolds around them. 

Providing a number of journeys lasting from 24 hours to a fortnight, Rovos Rail links some of Africa’s greatest destinations from Cape Town at the tip of South Africa to Dar-Es-Salaam in Tanzania.

The trains used for the journeys carry a maximum of seventy-two passengers in six superbly appointed suites.

In 2001 Rovos purchased two aeroplanes to offer guests unique and luxury private air safaris between some of the regions most stunning locations. 

The aircraft are also used to convey train passengers from Pietersburg to Victoria Falls in Zambia on their scheduled Pretoria to Victoria Falls journeys, and are now also available for charter anywhere in South Africa.  Onboard the planes, the capable staff provide guests with the usual high standard of service characteristic of Rovos.
