For many tourists, there is no better way to experience the authenticity of the phrase “the whole world in one country” than by taking a three-day trip around South Africa on the Rovos Rail train from Pretoria to Cape Town or vice versa. Traveling on a luxury train, you will enjoy the beauty of African nature without the inconvenience of the road. You will have an amazing opportunity to see the golden meadows of the Highveld, the Great Karoo mountain ranges, the wine provinces of the Cape region and South Africas most beautiful city - Cape Town. This journey will take you to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, founded during the Victorian era in 1890 as a place to rest weary travelers. There, on the platform, you will find a huge number of educational museums and a collection of vintage cars. During a stop in Kimberley, the birthplace of one of the worlds most famous diamond mining corporations, De Beers, youll explore the city and visit the Big Hole, the worlds largest quarry dug by humans without the use of machinery in search of diamonds.
This short 4-day journey begins with a train departure from the luxurious Rovos Rail station in Pretoria. The Pride of Africa will first head south towards Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand goldfields, and then west along the Magaliesberg mountain. The next day, immediately after some minor border formalities in Mafikeng, the train will head north, passing Botswanas capital Gaborone, the Tropic of Cancer, heading for the Zimbabwean border at Plumtree. You will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of wild animals right from the windows of the train, passing through the unique Hwange National Park. After a short stop at Thompsons junction, the journey ends upon arrival at Victoria Falls, located on the great Zambezi River. This area will invite you to try yourself in various types of active sports (for example, rafting on the Zambezi River) and various photo safaris.
