Pretoria to Victoria Falls
A Leisurely Sojourn By Luxury Train via Zimbabwe

This 1600 km journey through South Africa's northern Province and across the fabled Limpopo into Zimbabwe offers travelers a unique opportunity to experience the scenery so characteristic of this high-lying area.

Map Rovos Rail Pretoria to Victoria Falls

This two-night adventure begins as the train departs Rovos Rail’s gracious station at Capital Park in Pretoria. This special journey departs in the morning and slowly meanders north towards Bela Bela, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn just after the station of Soekmekaar. Once over the Soutpansberg mountains, north of Makhado we enter Baobab country. Few sights are more evocative of primeval Africa than the eerie silhouette of a Baobab tree starkly outlines against a ruddy African sunset.

South African border formalities will take place at Musina and then, very slowly over Beit Bridge, the train will ease itself into Zimbabwe. Continue in a north-westerly direction passing through Thompson’s Junction and Hwange Game Reserve where we enjoy an early morning game drive. Journeys end is the incomparable Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River.
