5* Luxury Rovos Rail - Pretoria Package (4 Nights)

Experience South Africa in all its breathtaking diversity on this unforgettable rail journey from Cape Town to Pretoria - a true journey through a country often described as a world in one. Departing Cape Town, the route winds through the rolling vineyards of the Western Cape, across dramatic mountain passes, and into the vast, ever-changing landscapes of the Great Karoo, before continuing through the sweeping grasslands of the Highveld to Pretoria. Along the way, enjoy curated off-train experiences that bring South Africa's history to life.
