Luxury Rail Travel …

Robert Louis Stevenson famously said “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move”, and this can never be truer than when travelling on a luxury train. Of course, you can go somewhere too and you can go in style !

Crisp white table linen, silver cutlery, fine china and crystal glasses all evoke a bygone age. Dining on the move is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and we’re not talking airline meals here. Fine dining complemented by fine wines are what’s on offer on Rovos Rail and The Blue Train.

All of the suites and compartments on The Blue Train and Rovos Rail have private ensuite bathroom facilities, many of them have permanent beds and easy chairs and all of them have a touch of class.

If you’re feeling flush (or flash) why not charter one of the trains for a special occasion or corporate event.

The Desert Express in Namibia can probably not be described as luxury but it is nevertheless a great experience and considerably cheaper than its more illustrious South African counterparts. It’s worth considering if you’re a fan of rail travel.
