Rovos Rail has two trains of twenty painstakingly restored
coaches, half of which date back to the twenties and
thirties are operated. Each train can accommodate up
to 72 passengers.
Accommodation on board Rovos Rail is of the highest
standard. The coaches have been lovingly restored to
their former glory with fine attention to detail, and
are the last word in comfort and style. Use of traditional
furnishings and period decor, with exquisite craftsmanship
evident in fine wood panelling has ensured that the atmosphere
of elegance and grandeur far exceeds the original. With
the option of twin or double beds, each suite on Rovos
Rail accommodates two people and also has a private lounge
area and air-conditioning. In the en-suite bathrooms,
original fittings are combined with the modern technology
of hot showers, hair dryers and shaver plugs. There are
two exquisitely restored dining cars.
Royal Suites
The Royal Suites are spacious and elegant and are outfitted
with Victorian claw-foot bathtubs. The Royal suites are
of considerable size, (approximately 16 square metres
- 172 square feet) and each takes up half a carriage.
Deluxe Suites
The deluxe suites, restored with the same care and finesse
as the Royal suites, also accommodate two passengers
in either double or twin beds, and have en-suite bathrooms
and lounge areas. Each suite occupies 11 square metres
(118 square feet).
