Rovos Rail has designed two different itineraries for this exclusive five star Cape to Cairo journey which include the incomparable luxury of the Pride of Africa as well as a comfortable classic aircraft.
 
The first 34-day itinerary will carry our exclusive band of intrepid adventurers through the heartlands of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania to Dar es Salaam by train. Thereafter an air safari will continue the sojourn via Zanzibar, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan and onto Aswan in Egypt. A luxurious Nile Cruiser will take you in a leisurely fashion to Luxor where you will rejoin the aircraft for the last leg to Cairo.
 
The second option of 27 days is to travel by train from Cape Town to the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Thereafter join our air safari and continue north via Zambia, Zanzibar, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan and onto Aswan in Egypt. A luxurious Nile Cruiser will take you in a leisurely fashion to Luxor where you will rejoin the aircraft for the last leg to Cairo.
