Step aboard a Rovos Rail train and you’ll be transported back in time. The classic, wood-panelled coaches offer passengers a taste of the luxury of a bygone age, with authentic period décor reminiscent of the Edwardian era. In keeping with this, the train doesn’t have any televisions or radios on board, allowing guests to truly embrace the spirit of turn-of-the-century travel.

And then there are the destinations themselves. The Rovos Rail will take you, in some style, to Southern Africa’s most iconic regions, from cosmopolitan Cape Town all the way to the desert landscapes of Namibia. You could find yourself journeying through picturesque winelands, or visiting fascinating cities like Kimberly with its 19th century diamond mines. Your luxury train ride could even include a trip to Victoria Falls, or a ‘big five’ safari in KwaZulu-Natal.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
