Crossing the Continent from East to West
15 Nights • 4,300 km
This journey departs from Tanzania’s capital, Dar es Salaam—a city Rovos Rail knows well, having operated its Cape to Dar route there since 1993. Highlights include a visit to the Selous Reserve, a two-night safari with a direct flight to South Luangwa National Park (Zambia), and a city tour of Lubumbashi (DRC). The route then joins the Benguela line for short walking tours exploring Angola’s recent history, ending in the coastal city of Lobito.
In July 2019, Rovos Rail launched this new 15-day expedition through Tanzania, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola. It marked the first time in history that a passenger train traveled the legendary copper route from east to west—an inaugural journey that proved to be a resounding success.
