This journey takes a train ride from the savannahs of the Highveld to the Atlantic in the west. It departs from Pretoria and makes its first stop in Kimberley, which is famous for diamond rushes. Here, guests have an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a mining village from the 1870s. The train then travels through the Northern Cape's stark vistas to reach Fish River Canyon - the second-largest canyon globally - and Garas Park, which is home to a quiver-tree forest. The journey continues through the untamed beauty of the Kalahari Desert to a cheetah conservation project. Guests also get a chance to stop in Windhoek, Namibia's capital, to take a tour. Windhoek is a lively, cosmopolitan city with a strong German influence. After that, guests take a short flight to Sossusvlei, a stunning pan in the Namib Desert, for an overnight stay. The train then proceeds to the game-rich Etosha National Park for another night. On the last morning, the train travels through the Namibia to reach the perfectly preserved 19th-century German Hansa town of Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, which is an unforgettable end to a remarkable journey. This journey is also available in reverse.

ROVOS RAIL GUEST FEEDBACK
Carmen,
What a trip. Thank you for everything. It was all perfect. Happy to be home but so incredibly sad to leave. Let me know if I can provide a rating for you or your company somewhere. Already decided we will be traveling to SA again and taking part in another Rovos trip at some point, possibly bringing some friends.

GUEST FEEDBACK:
I wanted to connect to offer my appreciation for the outstanding Customer Service offered by Eloise Greyling. I have now twice worked with her on a blue train trip and now a Victoria Falls train booking for my daughter. She cannot be more accommodating and professional and am aware that dealing with overseas customers is not always easy. She is always prompt in replying, detail orientated and follows up on every detail. I know I am in safe hands with her and would recommend her to any of my friends and family.
I hope you can please pass on my appreciations.
Regards
Annie Inglis - USA

Happiest of Birthdays Rovos Rail 🥂
As it’s our birthday month, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the little things that we feel have helped us build our company into what it is today.
We are very proud of the fact that Rovos Rail is a privately owned and family-run company. As such, we believe each trip should have a familial quality – something that makes guests feel like they will be cared for from the moment they arrive until we say our final goodbyes.
To help accomplish this, Rohan, our CEO, has established a small but impactful tradition that Tiffany, our COO, will carry over to the next generation.
We endeavour to meet and greet guests at departures or arrivals of our journeys. As a close-knit family, we relish the idea of establishing an instant connection with our guests by personally welcoming them aboard our once-in-a-lifetime trips.

BLUE TRAIN GUEST FEEDBACK:
Hi Carmen,
Hope you're well.
Just some feedback on the package we enjoyed from 24-27 March.
The Ivory Manor Boutique Hotel was exquisite. Truly the best we've ever experienced. Beautiful surroundings and outstanding service. We were sad to leave so quickly.
The Blue Train - South Africa experience was fabulous. Food was amazing, considering it's cooked in such a small kitchen - it was fresh and quick. Service was outstanding. They couldn't have done more to help us. The only drawback was running out of water for over 12 hours because of the delay in getting out of Gauteng. We realise these delays are often unavoidable, but the impact is significant.
Altogether an amazing experience - thanks so much for your service
Regards
M. Lambert - South Africa

BLUE TRAIN GUEST FEEDBACK:
Dear Eloise
Thank you so much for the professionalism in organising our trip on the Blue Train. Being pensioners, we always doubt ourselves and always fear of being scammed. I could not fault you with anything.
I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family and look forward to many future bookings with you.
Looking forward to this great experience. Hope it will be as professional as you are.

We had a fantastic trip regardless of the issues beyond your control, in fact we were quite happy there was a delay :-). We got more value for our money! The staff were great and excelled under the trying conditions imposed on them.
Thank you, to all the Blue Train staff, we leave with great memories and had an outstanding experience.

Mr P Wight - South Africa
ROVOS RAIL GUEST FEEDBACK:
Morning Carmen
Just wanted to give you some feedback.
The trip on the Rovos was outstanding. Excellent service, professional staff, wonderful deco of the train, good food and wine, and the unit (Delux) was comfy and daily cleaned. The day trips were well organized. We had a really enjoyable time, and sundowners in the bush were amazing. Once we got to Vic Falls, the magic continued. The hotel was suburb, the rainforest trip, and the cruise, were both exceptional, breath-taking and splendid. Everyone (Wild Horizons) and hotel staff were so kind, friendly, polite, and did such a good job.
We are seriously thinking about doing it again next year with friends.

BLUE TRAIN GUEST FEEDBACK:
Good morning Carmen,
I had a fantastic time, unfortunately all good things do come to an end.
We leave today back to Johannesburg.
Thank you so much for your hospitality.
I hope FlySafair will be lenient with us on baggage allowance because we had a slightly higher allowance for our Harare Johannesburg trip.
Other than that I am really happy client.
