Since its establishment in 1989, Rovos Rail has earned an international reputation for its truly world-class travel experiences.
Join the nine-day Golf Safari travelling the northeastern reaches of South Africa that will entertain the most discerning golfers with a delightful itinerary for non-playing guests. Travel from Pretoria to Sun City in the hills of the Pilanesberg for game viewing. Cross the spectacular Drakensberg Mountains to Spionkop, the perfect base for exploring the mountains, bush, birds and battlefields of the region.
Traverse the scenic Valley of a Thousand Hills to Durban for a tour of the city and botanical gardens. The game viewing continues at Hluhluwe in Zululand (one of the oldest reserves in the country), Mkhaya (Swaziland’s refuge for endangered species) and the world-famous Kruger Park in Malelane, after which this memorable journey ends in Pretoria.
