Rovos Namibia Safari Rail Tour

12 day The romance of rail tour

The Rovos Namibia Safari Rail Tour is a spectacular 11 nights/12-day odyssey, starting in Pretoria. It winds its way through the stunning Kalahari desert to the coast of Namibia, a country of compelling beauty, abundant sunshine and seemingly endless horizons.

First stop is Kimberley to visit the Big Hole and Diamond Mine Museum village. Then we continue across the Karoo to Upington for a walking tour and wine tasting. After crossing the border, visit the Fish River Canyon. This is second in size to the Grand Canyon, followed by tours of historical towns Lüderitz, Kolmanskop and Keetmanshoop.

Enjoy a night at a Sossusvlei lodge surrounded by the dramatic dunes of the Namib-Naukluft Park. Visit the natural Sesriem Canyon and the 170m-high star dune “45”. Leave the vast stillness of the Kalahari Desert for a tour of Windhoek and an overnight stay in Etosha with game-viewing activities. Arrive at journey’s end in the seaside town of Walvis Bay.

The Rovos Namibia Safari Rail Tour is also available in reverse.
