Creator's Key Takeaways

The ultimate destination in this case is amazingly just being on board Rovos Rail itself. The destination is ultimately about the Rovos Rail on-board experience itself.

We've loved our time on board and we'll be a bit sad to leave. We hope that you've enjoyed the episode and that perhaps it might have inspired you to take a journey.

The food and beverage service on board is a major part of the Rovos Rail experience. It sure is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for formal dress codes at dinner (gentlemen required to wear a collar and tie, and jackets for dinner).
Be aware that Wi-Fi is provided in cabins but not in public areas.
Prepare for cold weather if traveling in June in South Africa.
