DESCRIPTION
Rovos Rail Pretoria to Vic Falls
A 2 night/3 day luxury train journey starting in Pretoria and ending in Victoria Falls. The adventure departs Rovos Rails gracious station at Capital Park in Pretoria. This special journey departs in the morning and slowly meanders north towards Bela Bela, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn just after the station of Soekmekaar. Once over the Soutpansberg mountains, north of Makhado we enter Baobab country. Few sights are more evocative of primeval Africa than the eerie silhouette of a Baobab tree starkly outlines against a ruddy African sunset. South African border formalities will take place at Musina and then, very slowly over Beit Bridge, the train will ease itself into Zimbabwe. Continue in a north-westerly direction passing through Thompsons Junction and Hwange Game Reserve where we enjoy an early morning game drive. Journeys end is the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River.(There is also the option of travelling in a Royal Suite at an addtional surcharge or the new Pullman Suites which would be less expensive).
