"I never knew of a morning in Africa
when I woke that I was not happy"

Ernest Hemingway

We have been on the Blue Train three times and Rovos once.
It is hard to say which is my favorite since both are uniquely luxurious. If I had to give a nod it would have to be for the Blue Train only because I have more great memories associated with these trips…we took my late father-in-law on The Blue Train and it was his one of his dreams to travel on it.

More objectively, the comparisons are as follows. Rovos generally does not travel at night, whereas The Blue Train does. The Blue Train is a modern train, whereas Rovos is restored. Thus the suspension of The Blue Train allows night travel.

Rovos’s itineraries are generally longer and thus more leisurely. This is in part due to the above mechanics.Whichever train you choose, while aboard, you will experience Africa at a leisurely pace and in unsurpassed comfort. Tour guides who are well trained and knowledgeable lead daytime excursions from either train. And your private butler attends to your every need while you are on board.

In addition to the wonderful food and wine, the fine linens, the exemplary service, what we appreciate most is the most exclusive luxury Rovos Rail can offer – time. Time to enjoy and revitalize yourself. Time with those you love and share priceless moments that you will share forever.
