Overview
Discover the luxurious Rovos Rail on this spectacular seven-night tour and safari. Starting in Cape Town and ending in Madikwe Game Reserve, you'll embark on a tour full of natural beauty, amazing animal encounters, and luxurious accommodation.
Our personal highlight of this wonderful adventure is the journey on board the Rovos Rail. Travelling through the winelands, you'll have the chance to marvel at phenomenal scenery as you relax in your luxurious carriage, tucking into a decadent lunch in the dining car, and watching the world go by in the observation car.
Staying at the lavish Marataba Safari Lodge is also a brilliant experience, spending your time enjoying wildlife-abundant walking safaris, game drives and water safaris, as well as indulging in delicious boma dinners and bush breakfasts. This rail journey and safari is full of magical moments.
