Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

The hardest part about coming to South Africa for a Rovos Rail journey will be choosing your route. The good news is you can't make a bad decision. Each choice is spectacular which means, the truly hardest part will be leaving.
Here are a couple options straight form the Rovos website:
