Step aboard Rovos Rail and experience South Africa at a slower, more elegant pace, where classic rail travel, regional golf, safari landscapes and curated off-train excursions come together in one unforgettable journey. This luxury rail golf safari follows a sweeping route from Pretoria through Sun City, the Drakensberg region, Durban, Zululand, eSwatini, the Kruger Lowveld and Dullstroom. Golfers enjoy selected rounds at leading regional courses, while non-golfing partners follow a parallel programme of safari, sightseeing and cultural experiences. The appeal of this journey lies in its effortless rhythm: unpack once, settle into your private suite, dine on board, watch the landscape change from the observation car and step off the train for golf and safari chapters that each add a different South African story.
