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.

“AMAZING TRAVEL ADVISOR, WILL DEFINITELY BOOK WITH THEM AGAIN! ”

Claire, our South America & Polar specialist, was fantastic from start to finish. She answered every question, addressed all our concerns and created a detailed itinerary that made exploring Antarctica easy and stress-free. The personalised travel folder and luggage tags were a lovely surprise. We loved working with the team and can’t wait to plan our next adventure with them.

“EXPERT KNOWLEDGE COUPLED WITH FIRST-CLASS SERVICE”

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve booked several luxury holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company: from Kenya and Belize to Morocco, Tuscany, Egypt and most recently Tanzania, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their specialists are passionate and deeply knowledgeable, their local partners outstanding, and their service consistently first class. We’ll continue turning to them for every special trip.

“ONE OF THE BEST HOLIDAYS”

From the very beginning, the advice was honest, efficient and spot on. We came with a few ideas, and the team helped shape them into something even better. The result was a holiday we absolutely loved: luxurious places to stay, wonderful experiences and charming staff throughout.
