Rovos Rail Durban Safari
When people hear the word safari, they think of beautiful landscapes, exciting wildlife, and fantastic memories they will be making. So why not add an element of luxury to sweeten the pot by doing all this and more from the comforts of a luxury cabin? Combine your passion for travel and adventure with all the amenities of taking a luxury train to Durban.
Few places have as much culture, history, and love as South Africa does. Taking the long journey between provinces on the Rovos Rail train allows you to take everything in with fresh eyes. Nothing says exclusivity and luxury like traveling through a private game reserve on over 20 acres of land and seeing the beautiful fauna and flora found on the reserve.
And for those looking to engage in South Africa’s heritage and culture. The Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Durban will also include a trip to Ardmore Ceramics to indulge in more history, giving everyone a sense of rhythm, color, and cultural dance and music from the deeply rooted Zulu nation.
