Rovos Rail combines the opulence of pre-war travel with subtle modern innovations. Relax in the privacy and comfort of spacious suites, each with a perfect blend of period ambience and modern features.

Rovos Rail brings back the golden age of train travel. Rovos Rail operates two trains of twenty beautifully restored coaches, half of which date back to the twenties and thirties. Each Rovos Rail train can accommodate up to 70 passengers. Accommodation on board the train is of the highest standard. The coaches have been lovingly restored to their former glory with fine attention to detail, and are the last word in comfort and style. Use of traditional furnishings and period decor, with exquisite craftsmanship evident in fine wood paneling has ensured that the atmosphere of elegance and grandeur far exceeds the original. With the option of twin or double beds, each suite accommodates two people and also has a private lounge area. In the en-suite bathrooms original fittings are combined with the modern technology of hot showers, hair dryers and shaver plugs. Named after such colorful characters of the Victorian era in South Africa as Cecil John Rhodes, Barney Bernato and Alfred Beit, as well as Rohan Vos wife Anthea, the Royal Suites are spacious and elegant and are outfitted with Victorian claw-foot bathtubs.
