South Africa's vintage luxury trains provide the ultimate travel experience as they chug in style across the length and breadth of the rainbow nation. Marrying both history and luxury, a ride on The Blue Train or on Rovos Rail are experiences to treasure. The former, known as the 'Blue Jewel', offers lavish accommodation, world-class service and sumptuous food. You're in esteemed company, for kings and presidents have travelled in these very carriages. From the moment you step aboard the Rovos Rail, get ready to be transported into a world of elegance and luxury like none other.
Enjoy the beauty of South Africa, as it unfolds around you. Leave the charms of Cape Town behind as you race through the verdant fields of Kwa-Zulu Natal, the Little Karoo desert or go right up to the magnificent Victoria Falls. See as much of South Africa as your heart desires and see it in style.
