Since its establishment in 1989, Rovos Rail has earned an international reputation for its truly world-class travel experiences. Step aboard the wood-paneled coaches and enjoy fine cuisine in five-star luxury as some of the most varied scenery unfolds beyond the windows. Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a by-gone era, when privileged travelers experienced the magic and mystery of Africa in a relaxed and elegant fashion.
The unhurried itineraries not only offer all the comfort and style of traveling on the world's most luxurious train and include all meals and drinks, but also incorporate unique off-train excursions where guests can spend time on the ground and enjoy activities ranging from an historic visit to big game viewing from an open vehicle.
Luxury Accommodation:
The Royal Suites: Taking up half a carriage and measuring 16 sq meters in size (172 sq ft) each Royal Suite has its own private lounge area and full bathroom with Victorian bath and separate shower. Spacious and elegant they are the epitome of luxurious rail accommodation..
The Deluxe Suites: Also accommodating 2 passengers in either twin or double beds the 11 sq metre (118 sq feet) Deluxe Suites have a lounge area & en suite bathroom with shower.
The Pullman Suites: Measuring 7 square meters in size(76 sq ft) the Pullman Suites include an identical bathroom to that of the deluxe suites. However the bedroom is smaller with a one up one down bunk for twin requirements or a double bed for couples that can be converted into a comfortable couch during the day.
Cuisine and Service - Simple Elegant & Entertaining
An enthusiastic team of chefs is responsible for overseeing the very important task of ensuring that all the guests culinary needs are catered for. Considerable thought and meticulous planning goes into making up the menus and there is an a ccent on fresh local ingredients with traditional dishes such as game as a specialty. Every morning there's a full breakfast with dishes cooked to order. A selection of cold meats, croissants, pastries, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals and preserves make up a tempting breakfast buffet. For lunch and dinner there is a starter and a choice of fish, meat or vegetarian dishes, followed by a tempting dessert and are complemented by a selection of excellent South African wines. All meals are served in one sitting in the charming Victorian atmosphere of the Dining Cars.
Many of the passengers aboard the Pride of Africa enjoy the formality of fine china, crisp linen and silver, and dress accordingly. During the day dress is more casual, with cool, comfortable clothes and hats recommended for the excursions, especially in the game reserves where it can be very hot. The Observation Car seats 32 passengers and is positioned at the rear of the train. At the centre of the train we have, when numbers dictate, a non-smoking Lounge Car, which seats 26 passengers in comfort. In maintaining the spirit of travel of a bygone era, there are no radios or television sets onboard.
