Highlights of this Luxury Rail Experience
Discover South Africa’s breathtaking diversity on an unforgettable Rovos Rail journey—often called a world in one country. From the sweeping grasslands of the gold-rich Highveld to the stark beauty of the Great Karoo, every stretch of track unveils a new landscape. Pass through dramatic mountain ranges and the rolling vineyards of the Cape before arriving in Cape Town, the beloved Mother City, framed by Table Mountain, Devil’s Peak, and Lion’s Head.
Along the way, immerse yourself in history with unique stops. Wander the perfectly preserved Victorian village of Matjiesfontein, founded in 1890, complete with a charming railway museum on the platform. In Kimberley, explore the captivating Diamond Mine Museum and marvel at the legendary Big Hole—the largest hand-dug excavation on Earth.
This journey is far more than a train ride—it’s a tapestry of landscapes, stories, and timeless charm, designed for travellers who seek wonder, discovery, and meaning in every mile.
