During the summer months combine the luxury of train travel with the excitement of a nostalgic flight in a classic aircraft. This 50-hour adventure begins as the train departs the gracious station at Capital Park in Pretoria. It pauses in Witbank,
a rich coal-mining area where Rovos Rail was founded in 1986, before descending the breathtaking Drakensberg Escarpment. The descent between the quaint towns of Waterval Boven & Waterval Onder is one of the most challenging in the world as the train winds through many switchbacks and tunnels. Journey on in comfort through the lush, sub-tropical Mpumulanga bushveld to Nelspruit. Follow the border of the world-famous Kruger Park towards Hoedspruit for a game park excursion. Ascend to the Highveld through the tangled indigenous forests of Magoebaskloof, with its deep gorges and ancient cliffs where “living fossil" cycads flourish, before arriving in the high-lying land of the primeval Baobab tree. At Polokwane board a classic aircraft for the two-hour flight to journey’s end, the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River.
