Victoria Falls to Pretoria

The extended four-night southbound crossing from Victoria Falls to Pretoria aboard the Rovos Rail offers an immersive journey through the heart of Zimbabwe and South Africa. This expanded itinerary retains the classic elements of the rail safari while introducing an extra day dedicated to exploring the ancient landscapes of the Matobo Hills. Guests trace the historic routes of early explorers, blending Edwardian rail luxury with distinct off-train excursions: a dawn safari tracking elephants and predators in Hwange National Park, a cultural and historical tour among the granite kopjes of a World Heritage Site, and a leisurely crossing of the Limpopo River before ascending onto South Africa’s high-altitude Highveld.
