Train Tours in South Africa for UK Travellers
Escorted rail tours in South Africa include the luxurious 3-night Rovos Rail trip from Pretoria to Cape Town. The route takes you through a range of landscapes, from the grassy plateaus of the Highveld to the vast, barren expanse of the Great Karoo and the lush beauty of the Western Cape winelands. En route, there are opportunities to visit the historic Victorian village of Matjiesfontein and the Kimberley “Big Hole” Mining Museum, which takes you back to the diamond rush days and includes a dazzling display of sparkling stones.
Journeys on the Pride of Africa train-hotel span both South Africa and neighbouring countries like Botswana and Zimbabwe, stopping to absorb the jaw-dropping splendour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River before whisking you off for a safari at the amazing Chobe National Park. In South Africa, passengers can explore the Zulu Battlefields, discover the lively seafront and Art Deco architecture of Durban, and savour the highlights of cosmopolitan Cape Town.
