Rovos Rail, often called the "Pride of Africa," is considered a luxury train due to its "Golden Age" aesthetic and exceptionally spacious accommodations. In 2026, it remains the only train in the world where the Royal Suites take up half a carriage (approx. 16 square meters) and feature full-sized Victorian bathtubs. The experience is defined by "Old World" formality; jackets and ties are required for dinner, and there are no radios, televisions, or Wi-Fi on board to encourage social interaction and scenic appreciation. Every journey includes a 24-hour dedicated host/hostess for each cabin, all-inclusive gourmet meals paired with premium South African wines, and a maximum capacity of just 72 passengers. The train even operates from its own private 60-acre colonial-style station in Pretoria to ensure a seamless, high-security departure.
