Who can forget the opening scenes of the movie Out of Africa as Karen Blixen travels through the African Savanna aboard a steam train? You too can relive the romance of travelling through Africa by choosing to travel aboard one of our Luxury Trains. In South Africa there are essentially two luxury train operators, Rovos Rail and the Blue Train.


The Rovos Rail is an Orient Express Style ‘classic’ styled train operating scheduled journeys between Cape Town, Pretoria and Victoria Falls. The Blue Train is a more modern train, with all the facilities and service you would expect of a five star hotel. Both offering unique experiences and but quite different in their appeal.

Our luxury train journeys make the perfect way of exploring Africa, sit back in style and watch Africa pass you by. The journeys are fully inclusive and include all deliciously cooked meals and most drinks. We suggest you consider combining a luxury train journey into your African Safari itinerary as a way of getting to Cape Town, Pretoria or Victoria Falls. The added advantage of being there is no limit to the amount of luggage! Contact us and speak to your Ghecko Safaris consultant about how to incorporate a luxury train journey into your itinerary, and browse our selection of tours and packages to see the current journeys.
