SAFARI TRAIN ITINERARY - ROVOS RAIL

Pretoria - Malelane - Swaziland - Hluhluwe - Durban

Your special journey begins as soon as you board the Pride of Africa at the gracious Rovos Rail station in Pretoria. This charming train departs in the morning and slowly meanders through the majesty of Mpumalanga with a short stop in Witbank. It then descends the escarpment between Belfast and Waterval Onder, taking you through the Drakensberg and what is surely the most spectacular sundowner scenery in South Africa.

The following morning you'll receive an early wake up call to join a game drive through the famous Kruger Park. A brunch will then be served in the dining car while your train snakes its way over the wide horizons of Swaziland, in time for an afternoon game drive in the Mkhaya Game Reserve. Here your day will be suitably rounded off with a candlelit bush dinner in the pristine riverine setting of their exclusive Stone Camp.

Starting early once again, you are assured of seeing a wide variety of game on a morning game drive through the scenic Hluhluwe Nature Reserve.
