Pretoria • Kimberley • Fish River Canyon • Windhoek • Etosha Pan • Swakopmund

From it's new home at Capital Park, Pretoria; Rovos Rail invites you on a journey of discovery through some of the most historic and scenic areas of Southern Africa. For seven days and six nights the train will carry you in world-class style and comfort from the savannahs of the Highveld to the Atlantic Ocean, reuniting by rail the republics of South Africa and Namibia, formerly South West Africa.

The 3400 kilometre journey takes the train from Pretoria to Kimberley, centre of one of the world's most famous diamond rushes, where there's an opportunity to visit the Big Hole and experience the atmosphere of the 1870's while wandering through the quaint museum village.Then it's on through the stark vistas of the Northern Cape into Namibia at Ariamsvlei. There is an excursion to the spectacular Fish River Canyon - second only in size to the Grand Canyon - and then across the Kalahari Desert to Windhoek, a lively cosmopolitan city with a strong German flavour. After a city tour and an afternoon game drive with a lion feed, the train continues overnight to Tsumeb and the game rich Etosha National Park. We spend the night at Mokuti Game Lodge on the eastern edge of the Park and then continue on to Swakopmund, a perfectly preserved 19thcentury German Hansa town set between the dunes of the Namib Desert and the roaring Atlantic Ocean. It's an unforgettable end to a remarkable journey.
