“There’s something about the sound of a train that’s very romantic and nostalgic and hopeful.” ~ Paul Simon
Rovos Rail is considered the most luxurious train in South Africa, and very possibly in all the world. It is a glorious medley of romance and nostalgia, classic luxury, silver-service dining and genteel sociability. It’s also a sensory extravaganza of scenery, tastes and sounds. Embark on a fabulous journey between Cape Town and Pretoria, spending 2 nights on the train, and you could elect to add a luxury stay at a boutique hotel or guesthouse in Pretoria.
