Day 5 & 6: ROVOS RAIL Transfer to Cape Town Station in time for Rovos Rail. For many visitors to South Africa, there's no finer way to see the country than on the popular weekly journeys between Cape Town and Pretoria (or vv). From the coast, the 1600 kilometer route follows an old pioneering trail carved out of the African bushveld, passing through the Winelands and climbing up to the interior through the Hex River Valley. Highlights of the north and southbound routes include visits to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, a 100-year-old refreshment stop in the arid Karoo, and Kimberley (city of De Beers), the diamond boom-town that's home to the Big Hole, the world's largest man-made excavation. Two overnights onboard Rovos Rail on a fully inclusive basis.

With only six en suite double rooms, exceptional hospitality and cuisine are assured. The recently opened Aquarius Wellness Spa has a full time beautician on the premises.
