Luxury Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria and Kruger National Park

Cape Town, Rovos Rail, and Kruger National Park in 14 days

Luxury Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria and Kruger National Park is a 14-day, 13-night independent rail package from Railbookers. The trip opens with four nights in Cape Town, giving travellers time to explore the city's landmarks and surroundings, before a three-night journey aboard Rovos Rail, which the operator positions as a luxury train with suites and included meals. From there, the package continues on to Pretoria, Kruger National Park, and Johannesburg, though the exact night-by-night split for these stops is not detailed. Railbookers sells this as an independent package rather than a fully escorted tour, so travellers have flexibility around their time in each city. It suits travellers who want to pair South Africa's wildlife destinations, in particular Kruger National Park, with a slower, more comfortable train journey between Cape Town and the country's interior. Prices start at $8,849 per person.
