This two-night adventure begins as the train departs Rovos Rail's gracious station at Capital Park in Pretoria. It pauses in

Witbank, a rich coal-mining area, where Rovos Rail was founded in 1986, before descending the breathtaking Drakensberg

Escarpment. The descent between the quaint towns of Waterval Boven and Waterval Onder is one of the most challenging rail

tracks in the world as the train winds through many switchbacks and tunnels. Journey on in comfort and style through the lush,

sub-tropical Mpumalanga bushveld to Nelspruit and the Crocodile River valley. Follow the edge of the world-famous Kruger Park

towards Hoedspruit, the heart of South Africa's celebrated game-viewing paradise for a visit to the Kapama Game Reserve.

Ascend the Highveld through the tangled indigenous forests of Magoebaskloof, with its deep gorges and ancient cliffs where

"living fossil " cycads flourish, before arriving in the high-lying land of the primeval Baobab tree. Travel past tea estates, trout

streams, natural woodlands and then alongside some of South Africa's vast citrus estates.

At Pietersburg board a classic aircraft for the two-hour flight to journeys end, the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty

Zambezi River.
