We treated our parents to a trip to Vic Falls in April 2013 and took the Rovos rail back from Vic Falls to Pretoria. The staff on the train were supremely charming, helpful and attended to our every need. Attention to detail was remarkable and the personnel’s loyalty and love for Rovos showed in every word and gesture. The food... More

I had long wanted to experience this train and the three day journey from Pretoria to Cape Town did not disappoint. We traveled in 5 star luxury and enjoyed every moment of the journey. The owner, Rohan Vos introduced us to the train at the station in Pretoria and he and his staff waved us off the platform in Cape... More

Fantastic . Great adventure in luxury. Felt like the orient express. Scrumptious food and drink all day long, Service was impeccable. All the staff were friendly and courteous. Lovely restored carriages. Very comfortable double bed. Nice views and a good way to see the countryside. A very interesting part to our first visit in Southern Africa. Highly recommend.

Food perfect. The trip is expensive, but well... More

I completed a trip from Pretoria to Cape Town on the Rovos Rail with my wife and children last week. Our 2x deluxe suites/cabins were well appointed and I especially likes the size of the bathroom with nice hot and great pressure shower. Comfort level of the cabin was excellent with all amenities available. I did have a difficult time... More

Just had two trips on Rovos Rail. This is the best travel experience I can imagine. The staff work incredibly hard, the train is truly beautiful and the whole package is brought together by a CEO, Rohan Vos who takes the trouble to greet each traveller at the beginning and end of each journey. Our engine broke down ( Zimbabwe... More
