Escorted Rail Tours to Pretoria

The capital of South Africa

Pretoria is named after its founder, Marthinus Pretorius, who established the city in 1855. In May 1960, Pretoria became the capital of the South African Republic, and - although the ruling powers have changed over the years - it has enjoyed a position of authority ever since. During the Apartheid era, Pretoria was tarnished with the unpopular image of being the "capital of Apartheid South Africa".

This greatly improved in 1994, when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated in the city as the country's first non-apartheid president. The city is still home to South Africa's government, in the Union Buildings, and serves as one of the country's three capital cities along with Bloemfontein and Cape Town.

Our Customers Love Our Pretoria Tours

Excellent holiday ... all accommodation and meals very good ... lots of travelling but of course that is the only way to see places ...... good company and excellent our manager Kay .... nothing to complain about at all although I am not a complainer ..... one or two minor hitches during the holiday but that's not a problem with a holiday lasting more than two weeks

Victoria Falls, Cape Town and the Garden Route

Service, food and train journey is first class as are all the tours and safari experiences.

South African Adventure

With a Rovos Rail anything less than 5 star would be daft!! The pre-tour 'Winelands & Wildlife' information was very poor. It was only when Scott McAlpine from GRJ got hold of the problem with less than 48hrs to go that matters were resolved.
