First Class Travel - Rovos Rail

Melody Visagie on 20 August 2012
I recently had the honour of travelling onboard the Rovos Rail. And what an honour it was! I have in the past been on all forms of transport but have decided that travelling on the Rovos Rail is the only way to travel! Named the Most Luxurious Train in the World, it stands its name proud. From the red carpet treatment that awaits you at the entrance, to the string quartet playing softly in the background and sipping fine Champagne and nibbling canapés - it takes you back to the old Victorian Era. From the 5 Star suites each with their own individual bathroom, the quality of the fine dining and wines, and the consistent first class service from the crew, this experience will not disappoint you. Take a journey from Cape Town to Pretoria or Pretoria to Durban or the Victoria Falls. This train only travels at 60km per hour, so it gives you all the time you will need to soak up the surroundings whilst sipping your choice of beverage in the observation carriage - which is outside! All meals and beverages are included as well as having the opportunity of stocking up your own mini bar with biltong, peanuts, wines, beers, soft drinks and champagne. Having the luxury of having your own tea & coffee butler, makes for a perfect wake up in the morning! Not to mention having your very own 24 hour personal butler taking care of your every requirement. This experience is a MUST for every person’s bucket list!
