The Maharajas' Express Indian Panorama, and Luxury South Africa with Rovos Rail

22-day combined rail journey on the Maharajas' Express and Rovos Rail

Railbookers pairs two named luxury trains in this 22-day, 21-night package. The trip opens with the Maharajas' Express Indian Panorama itinerary, traveling through Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, and Varanasi, with stops at the Taj Mahal and Jaipur's royal palaces. From India, the trip flies to South Africa to continue aboard Rovos Rail as part of a luxury South Africa segment that includes a safari. Railbookers sells this as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, so travelers move through both countries without a tour director. The evidence available is sparse: it gives no day-by-day itinerary, no named hotels or lodges, and no detail on the Rovos Rail route or safari location. Priced from $24,509 per person.
