Rovos Rail is offering residents of South Africa and neighbouring countries a special 50%-reduced rate on the Dune Express, for one specific departure date.
This is an 11-night journey from Walvis Bay to Pretoria, beginning at Walvis Bay on October 11, described by the rail company as an epic journey of discovery from the Atlantic coast in Namibia across the Kalahari and Karoo to Pretoria.
Delta goes daily from Cape Town to Atlanta
The itinerary takes guests from Walvis Bay to Etosha for an overnight stay at a lodge, with game-viewing activities. A tour of Windhoek is followed by a traverse of the vast stillness of the Kalahari Desert to Mariental. An overnight stay at a Sossusvlei lodge, surrounded by the dramatic dunes of the Namib-Naukluft Park incorporates a visit to the Sesriem Canyon and the 170m-high ‘Dune 45’, and Quiver trees at Garas Park, which has 300 specimens of this unique tree-aloe.
Tours of historic Lüderitz and the ghost town of Kolmanskop are followed by a stop at the Fish River Canyon – second only to the Grand Canyon in size. A visit to Upington comes before crossing the Karoo, with the last stop Kimberley, including a visit to the extraordinary Big Hole and Diamond Mine Museum before continuing to the journey's end in Pretoria.
Prices start from R58 000pps (the discounted rate) in a Gold Cabin
