Dar Es Salaam to Cape Town

The Rovos Rail journey from Dar es Salaam to Cape Town is a magnificent 16-night transcontinental voyage that spans 5,530 kilometers across the dramatic landscapes of Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. This epic southbound expedition begins on the shores of East Africa, guiding travelers from the vibrant tropical atmosphere of Dar es Salaam into the historic, untamed heart of the continent. Passengers travel in unparalleled wood-paneled luxury, experiencing iconic milestones along the way—including the rugged escarpments of the TAZARA railway line, the thundering majesty of Victoria Falls, and a thrilling Big Five safari in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. Winding down through the historic diamond fields of Kimberley and the sweeping, semi-desert plains of the Great Karoo, the "Pride of Africa" beautifully merges the nostalgia of old-world rail travel with the changing vistas of five distinct countries, culminating at journey's end in the shadow of Cape Town's iconic Table Mountain.
