Great southern Africa train adventures

We love seeing @sue.momentsofjoy document her jour

We love seeing @sue.momentsofjoy document her journey through the eyes of her bear called Panda. From fine dining to safaris and sunsets, Panda experienced the luxury of Rovos Rail.

Did you know that we carry our own line of bears? Crafted with care by local artisans, each bear is a symbol of craftsmanship. Available at the station gift shop and onboard the train. Head to our blog to read more.

Discover the beauty of St James by booking a stay at our Homestead Villa. This seaside retreat overlooks the vibrant fishing village of Kalk Bay and offers guests views of Cape Town’s False Bay. The villa was built in Cape Dutch style with sophisticated finishes and comfortably accommodates 12 people in its six sea-facing en-suite bedrooms.

We look forward to welcoming you at this home-away-from-home.

In 1996, a milestone moment in our history took place as two trains departed on the same day from the Pretoria yard – one bound to the Eastern Transvaal and the other to Cape Town.

Today, we have multiple trains that depart from Capital Park – a shining example of a private railway station of world-class standard.

We take immense pride in our history and we love sharing these moments with you.

To truly feel Africa’s magic, one must step off

To truly feel Africa’s magic, one must step off the train and onto the land. ✨

The Trail of Two Oceans voyage begins in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where our Cape to Dar route has run since 1993. Enjoy a game drive in the Selous Reserve, a two-night fly-in safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, and a city tour of Lubumbashi in the DRC. The adventure continues along Angola’s Benguela line with walking tours that reveal the country’s rich and colourful history, concluding in Lobito.

Special thanks to Lobito Atlantic Railway for capturing this experience.

As we look back on our recent 35th birthday celebr

As we look back on our recent 35th birthday celebration, we’re reflecting on the values that have shaped Rovos Rail into the business it is today. Privately owned and family-run, we carry a unique, personal touch that makes every guest feel at home.

Rohan Vos, our CEO, began a special tradition of personally meeting guests at departures or arrivals, a gesture that Tiffany Vos-Thane, our COO, is dedicated to carrying forward. For us, it’s about more than travel – it’s about creating an experience filled with warmth and genuine connection, a journey to be remembered.

Here’s to 35 more years of success!
