VICTORIA FALLS ITINERARY - ROVOS RAILPretoria - Pietersburg - Victoria Falls Combine the luxury of train travel with the excitement of a
flight in a vintage airliner. The adventure begins as the train pulls away from
the gracious station at Capital Park, Pretoria, a historic rail yard that is now
home to this exclusive private railway. It pauses at Witbank, a rich coal-mining
area where Rovos Rail was founded in 1986. At this town the intrepid young
Winston Churchill leapt aboard a freight train to escape from his Anglo-Boer War
captors. |

Journey on in comfort and style through the lush, sub-tropical Mpumalanga bushveld, through country that inspired Henry Rider Haggard's yarns of African adventure, to Nelspruit and the Crocodile River Valley. Follow the edge of the world-famous Kruger National Park towards Hazyview and Hoedspruit, the heart of South Africa's celebrated game-viewing paradise.
Ascend to the Highveld through the tangled indigenous forests of Magoesbaskloof,
with its deep gorges and ancient cliffs where cycads ("living fossils")
flourish, before arriving in the high-lying land of the primeval baobab tree.
Travel past tea estates, trout streams and natural woodland, then alongside some
of South Africa's vast citrus farms. At Pietersburg, board an historic aircraft
for the two-hour flight to Journey's End, the incomparable Victoria Falls on the
mighty Zambezi River. |
