Rovos Rail is offering a unique opportunity to Luxury Steam Train enthusiasts worldwide to travel on board The Pride of Africa under steam haulage for almost the entire journey. The locomotives used at various stages will include the well known 19D and 25NC.
The 9 night/10 day journey from Victoria Falls to Pretoria is NOT a regular scheduled routing operated by Rovos Rail and being hauled entirely under steam makes it unique and exciting. En route you will stop at Hwange, Matobo Game Reserve and Antelope Park for game drives and visit the Bulawayo Rail Museum before entering Botswana en route to South Africa. The train will be comprised of Pullman Suites and Deluxe Suites (68 passengers maximum), a lounge car, dining car and observation car.
This may truly be a once in a lifetime chance to see some of the best parts of southern Africa and experience vintage steam travel. Offered through travel agents who specialize in Africa.
