Operated by the private, family-run Rovos Rail, the elegant
Pride of Africa lives up to its name and is described by its
operator as "the world's most luxurious train". Guests travelling
with us on an escorted rail tour of Africa will be apt to agree. Each of the Pride
of Africa's lovingly-restored Pullman-style carriages is finished
in polished teak, and decorated and furnished in the opulent and
decadently comfortable style of the 1920s, recalling the halcyon
days of luxury rail travel at its most romantic.
Despite the authentically-detailed beauty of these heritage
carriages, our guests benefit from every modern amenity and the
highest standards of on-board service. Wherever our guests join and
depart the Pride of Africa they will enjoy the nearest equivalent
to a luxury five-star hotel that runs on railway lines and will be
transported through some of South Africa's most compelling and
spectacular landscapes.
