Train specialist tour operator Railbookers has added to its destination portfolio with 15 new luxury itineraries to South Africa.

Each of the journeys, ranging from nine to 20 days, features travel onboard one of the country’s iconic luxury trains, the Blue Train or Rovos Rail.

As with all Railbookers vacations, itineraries include rail transportation, hotel accommodations and sightseeing, allowing travelers to experience all that South Africa has to offer without stressing over the planning details.

“We’re seeing rising demand for luxury rail vacation solutions to South Africa,” said Jim Marini, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. “Our product team has come up with the most comprehensive selection of luxury train departures including the quintessential South African activities and destinations. One call to Railbookers can secure the ideal bucket-list vacation to South Africa, any day that the trains run.”

South Africa activities include safari voyages to see the Big Five in Kruger National Park, the “Thundering Smoke” at world-famous Victoria Falls, wine tastings and experiences, excursions to gem mines, and much more.

Along with luxury rail accommodations, all hotels and lodging included in Railbookers’ South Africa trips are five-star properties.

Itineraries can be viewed here, with travel available for departure up to two years in advance and low booking deposits.

With the addition of South Africa, Railbookers now offers independent vacations to five continents worldwide, spanning the globe from Scandinavia to Australia and eastern Asia to North America.
