TAILOR MADE LUXURY TRAIN HOLIDAYS
There's something romantic about travelling on a luxury train. A sense of a bygone era, thick steam smoke trailing above as the train snakes its way through endless changing scenery. There are several luxury trains operating throughout southern Africa, each offering various journeys from overnight to epic 14-day excursions up Africa. Unique and unusual, this kind of holiday is wonderful for honeymoons, special occasions or a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Here's a sample of a popular 6-day itinerary on the exquisite Rovos Rail. A journey from Victoria Falls to Cape Town. See also our Top Activities for more detail on this and other trains.
