Rovos Rail is a private South African luxury tourist train, often called 'the most luxurious train in the world.' Its flagship route, the Pride of Africa, crosses the Karoo between Pretoria and Cape Town over 4 days and 3 nights. This is a ghost train: there is no live GPS or GTFS-RT feed, positions are simulated from a representative schedule -- real departures run 2-4 times a month rather than on a fixed weekly pattern.
The story of
Rovos Rail was founded in 1989 by South African businessman Rohan Vos, who restored a set of vintage steam-era carriages to create what has become one of the most exclusive rail experiences in the world, running multi-day journeys across Southern Africa.
