Luxury Train Rovos Rail, Southern Africa rail journey and safari

Rovos Rail

Start Planning

Rovos Rail is a luxurious slow train that travel across Southern Africa. Most people hurriedly fly in and out of their safari destinations. But when you’re not “most people”, a romantic Rovos Rail journey to transport you between safari experiences is a reassuringly sophisticated alternative. They call it “the most luxurious train in the world”. And that’s a pretty darn accurate assessment. If you love the formality of fine dining, the indulgence of slow-paced travel and the thrill of shape-shifting landscapes, you’ll love this 1930s throwback as much as we do. Hats off to Mr Vos and his glorious train set. We think this one’s top notch.

 

Rovos Rail, the most luxurious train in the world, South Africa

Stuff we love

The most luxurious train

  • Dressing up for dinner in a wood-panelled dining car swimming in polished silver.
  • Taking in a fascinating lecture from the on-board historian, fine MCC in hand.
  • Trying to choose just one train conductor-styled teddy from the gift shop. (And then giving up and liberating three.)
