South Africa, Victoria Falls, Rovos Rail & Eastern Oriental Express Adventure

Luxury rail journey across Southern Africa and Southeast Asia

Railbookers operates this 19-day, 18-night independent rail package that spans Southern Africa and Southeast Asia. The trip begins in Johannesburg, where travelers learn about South Africa's history and go on safari in Pilanesberg National Park. Travelers then board the Rovos Rail, described as luxurious, for a journey through Hwange National Park to Victoria Falls. From there the trip continues toward Southeast Asia, where the trip's own name points to the Eastern & Oriental Express, though the description available to us stops short of covering that portion in detail. It suits travelers who want a long, high-end rail journey spanning two continents rather than a single-region trip. Priced from $18,659 USD per person.
