Two lucky guests will experience true world-class travel of a bygone era as they journey across Africa aboard Rovos Rail, known as the most luxurious train in the world (1-day/1-night at Afton House and 3-day/4-night aboard the train). Your adventure begins upon arrival with a VIP welcome package for two at the Afton Safari Lodge courtesy African Hunting Gazette. Voucher includes meet/greet at O.R. Tambo International Airport, airport shuttle, double occupancy accommodation, dinner, breakfast and 1-year subscription to African Hunting Gazette. After an evening of R&R, get whisked away from the Rovos Rail Station in Pretoria for your adventure across the Tropic of Capricorn and Limpopo River towards Bulawayo, the second city of Zimbabwe. Enjoy an open-vehicle drive in Matobo National Park, a World Heritage Site with bushmen caves, rock art and dramatic granite hills. Travel along one of the world’s longest stretches of straight railway line – 114km – before traversing Hwange National Park, a rich and diverse wildlife sanctuary where an off-train excursion is enjoyed. Arrive at the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River where this sojourn ends. The surrounding areas offer travelers many recreational opportunities including cruises, whitewater rafting as well as superb game viewing and photo safaris. This first-class package includes luxury accommodations, exceptional white-glove fine dining, full bar (except for international sparkling wines), 24-hour room service and bar facilities, entrance fees (per itinerary), govt. tax and limited laundry service.
