Cape Town to Dar Es Salaam

The Rovos Rail journey from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam is an extraordinary 16-night transcontinental expedition that covers 5,800 kilometers across five distinct African nations: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania. Embarking from the Atlantic coast in the shadow of Table Mountain, this northbound voyage takes travelers on a slow-travel masterpiece of changing landscapes and cultural history. Moving in the wood-paneled elegance of five-star vintage carriages, guests experience a curated collection of Africa's greatest treasures—from the historic diamond fields of Kimberley and a luxury Big Five safari in the Madikwe Game Reserve, to the roaring chasm of Victoria Falls and the engineering marvels of the Great Rift Valley's TAZARA railway. The journey beautifully captures the romance of a bygone era, culminating in a grand arrival on the tropical East African coast of Dar es Salaam.
