Rovos Rail invites you to travel on the most luxurious train in the world. In July every year, this epic 14-day journey travels through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania and is destined to become one of the most famous train journeys in the world. This is the ultimate African safari, designed for travellers who wish to re-live true adventure in complete luxury, comfort and security.

The tour starts in Dar Es Salaam and passes through the Selous Game Reserve, the largest on the Continent - a vision of timeless Africa,  the train negotiates the tunnels, switchbacks and viaducts of the escarpment as it climbs out of the Rift valley.  Enter Zambia and bush walk to Kundalilia Falls, continuing to the mighty Zambezi River and Victoria Falls.

This magnificent sojourn will end in South Africa with short tours of the diamond town of Kimberley and the capital city of Pretoria, a two-night stay in a private game lodge in the famous Kruger Park Game area, finally ending in Cape Town.
