Compared to the same trip two years ago this was a rather poor experience. We had to ask for toilet rolls on two separate occasions on the Pride of Africa. Dinner was an extremely long and tortuous process. There were far too many customers on the train, i.e.72 and far too few staff to accommodate them. We did not have the same opportunity to get off the train in the Namibian desert as two years ago and this was supposed to be the focus of the trip!

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.
