I’ve done a bit of world travel and seen all kinds of places people and natural wonders. I took a Rovos trip from Pretoria to Victoria Falls a few years ago and it was, without a doubt, the most incredible travel experience my wife and I have ever had. The country side and wild life are spectacular but what really stood out was the exemplary people, food and facilities Rovos has managed to put together. This company is truly well ran, it shows in the attention to detail from all their employees and translates into fabulous experience for everyone on board. We will rerun 😊

We took this train 20 years ago and we can confirm the outstanding quality of accommodation, food and sightseeing on the the two night trip. It was beyond "First Class". Pampered from the moment we arrived at the train station in Pretoria to the moment we arrived in Cape Town. After dinner having a coffee and sipping frangelico in the viewing car as we travelled through the star filled night in the Karoo was a memorable experience.

I was fortunate enough as a young man to take this wonderful train from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg. The marvellous suites (wing chairs) each carriage with its own service attendant. understated class is unbeatable. The 1920s dining car. Wonderful food. The thing that sticks in my memory was asking the barman if he had any single malt whisky. "Yes sir" he replied "We have 27"!

'The train station has a small gift shop, the historic building also 'boats' an interesting railway museum?' Beautiful interior of the colonial style cars. Was surprised that it catered to only 72 passengers with 20 cars in tow. I remember in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) travelling in similar beautiful cabins in the 50's and 60's overnight to the hill country, so I could relate to it. It was great to view Mr. Rohan Vos's dream , attention to detail and luxury sets this adventure apart. It definitely is a labor of love and passion. One question is, how safe is the journey knowing the country's troubled past and living conditions?.

Superb camera work and a very informative pictorial of life on the train. Nice that you showed both the menu and the dishes that it represented. Thanks for sharing the ride!

I imagine the average person couldn't afford this luxury. A rather bleak contrast seeing that train and the shanty towns it passed along the way.

I took this journey from Pretoria to Cape Town back in late 1975, but not with this level of luxury. The countryside was awe inspiring, and the service excellent. Crossing the Karoo was memorable, with the township children running alongside. Very special. And is the line from Cape Town to Knysna still open? That was very special also.

Sorry, I see you asked if the Knysna line is still open, unfortunately not, it was badly damaged some years ago after landslides due to heavy storms and it was considered too expensive to repair since it was apparently not profitable anymore. However, I've heard a lot lately of the tourism authority in the area looking into making it operational again!
