Trains depart regularly from Rovos Rail Station in Pretoria to Cape Town, Durban, and Victoria Falls, with longer journeys operating periodically throughout the year. These include two golf itineraries, of ten and thirteen days, each with delightful programmes for non-golfers.
With discreet and friendly service, excellent cuisine and a selection of South Africa’s finest wines, Rovos Rail harks back to a simpler, more elegant era encompassing the timeless grace and spirited romance of African exploration. The Royal, Deluxe and Pullman suites on board house a maximum of 72 passengers, offering accommodation of the highest standard combining the grandeur of pre-war travel with subtle modern innovations.
There is a ten day safari to Walvis Bay in Namibia as well as a 15 day adventure to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. The 16 day Trail of Two Oceans voyage sets off from Tanzania to Lobito in Angola and the Copper Trail, a 15 day expedition between Zimbabwe and Lobito.
ROUTE
PRETORIA - CAPE TOWN
For more than 75 years, The Blue Train has hosted Kings, Queens, internationally acclaimed celebrities and other wellknown personalities. However, everyone who comes on board this ‘five star resort-on-wheels’ is ‘Royalty’ and is treated to the magic and experience of what has been voted Africa’s Leading Luxury Train for an unprecedented 13 consecutive years by the World Travel Awards. The Blue Train has been a part of the South African experience for many years and remains a flagship of the travel and tourism sector, whose opulence and elegance continues to not only stand the test of time, but also challenge and push the category of luxury worldwide.
VIEW RATES
On The Blue Train, you slow down, literally. You realise the luxury in slow. You breathe. You move to a slower lane. You let yourself free and indulge in the glorious view of the land you traverse, while entrenched in a plush, yet breezy setting. So, take a journey into a timeless world of grace, elegance, and romance, and surrender to the luxury of slow. The Blue Train, a Window to the Soul of Africa.
What you need to know There are innumerable ways to explore South and Southern Africa's amazing natural beauty, with such a variety of scenery and glorious adventure experiences. In South Africa, take a hot air balloon flight and gaze down at the Pilanesberg National Park. There’s no better way to see the wonders of this wild world from up high. If you have a heart for the great outdoors, and long to be part of it, Zimbabwe is a magnificent destination. At Victoria Falls, the world’s biggest and most spectacular waterfall, there are many exciting activities. You may prefer a bird’s-eye-view of ‘the smoke that thunders’ from a helicopter or microlight. Perhaps your choice is to join the wetset careering down the river on a raft or riverboard.
The incredible ‘Falls’ has it all: trails for hiking, bird-watching, mountain-biking, horse-riding, jetboating, river-rafting, canoeing. And jumping off the bridge - the second highest jump in the world, a freefall of 111 metres! Selected for their location in adventure destinations, our showcased Adventure Stopover product is easily combinable with any of our City Stopovers, Beach Coast and Country getaways and our Safari Stays to form a longer itinerary.

On Safari What You Need to Know For first time visitors to Southern Africa and for those who come again, a safari is a soul-stirring experience. No visit to South or Southern Africa is complete without a safari indulgence. The National Parks in South Africa offer comfortable accommodation within rest camps in every reserve. Each camp is a hub of activity, usually offering a restaurant, swimming pool, and open safari vehicle game drives. They are ideal for those who want to travel on their own terms, at their own pace. Some reserves are so large, that visits to two areas of the same reserve are likely to offer entirely different experiences. Alternatively, choose from a range of South Africa’s luxurious private game reserves or private concessions within the National Parks – here you are truly spoilt for choice. The southern Kruger National Park is a lush and green environment and home to the ‘Big Five’, whereas the St Lucia (iSimangaliso) Wetlands, a World Heritage Site, displays an estuarine and coastal environment of a totally different terrain. Search for leatherback and loggerhead turtles on night beach forays as these amazing animals return each year to lay their eggs and close to St Lucia lies the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park that also lays claim to the ‘Big Five’. In the Eastern and Western Cape, the environment changes to scrub grasslands and fynbos where one can view the ‘Big Seven’, whales and great white sharks literally viewed offshore, or by unobtrusive boat excursions. The remote Northern Cape holds an allure all of its own. The desert wildlife safari is highly recommended, not only for the unusual wildlife, but also for the utterly mesmerising desert landscape of red earth, incredible rock formations and wide-open spaces – a memorable treat.
When it comes to wildlife, Zambia is blessed with both diversity and abundance, offering some of the wildest and most remote game areas on the continent. It was in Zambia that the concept of walking safaris was initiated as the best way of enjoying the rich flora and fauna of the country’s 19 National Parks. Zimbabwe enjoys rich wildlife and natural beauty. From the Matopo Hills and their huge boulders, to the ancient Great Zimbabwe ruins going back to Africa’s great ancestry, to a number of national parks and wildlife reserves offering fantastic game viewing. Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve and the saltpans and grassy plains support a large concentration of animals. Mana Pools is renowned for its canoe trails and Lake Kariba best known for its abundance of wildlife including hippo, crocodiles, buffalo, rhino, elephant and lion.
Botswana is a true African wilderness, where animals roam freely, and visitors are flown into the remote camps, from which they can explore the area. The unique and fascinating Okavango Delta is an inland waterway with a remarkable environment comprising diverse habitats, with numerous species of mammals, birds and fish. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve on the eastern fringe of the Delta is a patch straight out of heaven with lily-covered wetlands, grass plains and lush forests, where an incredible variety of animals and birds make their home. In stark contrast to the lush waterways of the Delta is the Makgadikgadi Pans, with mile after mile of shimmering white salt pans, Stone Age ruins, stretches of savannah and pre-historic beaches.
When Is The Best Time to Visit? Both the winter and summer months have their benefits: in winter (May to August) the foliage is less dense and the game more visible as they seek out the scattered waterholes. During the summer months the animals have their young, the vegetation is appealingly lush and the late afternoon African storms are spectacular. A Typical Day on Safari
Return to camp at about 10h30 for a hearty brunch at 11h00. Take the afternoon off for a siesta or a dip in the pool. Afternoon tea is served at around 15h30, followed by the option of a late afternoon game-viewing experience. Stop for sundowners and snacks, before returning to the camp in time for a three-course dinner at 20h00. (This is a guide only and varies from camp to camp).
Start the day with an early morning tea-or-coffee wake-up (between 05h00 and 06h00 depending on the season), then meet in the central area for a light meal of cereal, fruit, biscuits and juice. Set off on your game viewing activity, with a short stop in the wilderness for a snack and coffee.
