**Day 1: Pretoria**
Depart Rovos Rail Station, Pretoria. Guests may freshen up in their suites before joining fellow travellers in the lounge car or observation car at the rear of the train. Lunch is served in the dining cars as the train travels through Warmbaths (Bela-Bela) – so named for its mineral waters and Nylstroom, christened by the Voortrekkers as the source of the Nile River as the town’s river happened to be north flowing. Pass the edge of the escarpment where the Highveld drops precipitously.

Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars as the train crosses the Tropic of Capricorn. As the train crosses the Limpopo River to Beitbridge dinner is served. In Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So” stories, the Elephant’s Child departs his family for the “great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees”, to find out what the crocodile has for dinner.

**Day 2: On Board**
Breakfast is served in the dining cars as the train travels through baobab country. Travel towards Bulawayo, second city of Zimbabwe, capital of Matabeleland and industrial capital of the country. Tea is served in the lounge and observation cars and dinner is served in the dining cars en route to Mpopoma for overnight.

**Day 3: Hwange National Park**
Today the train travels between Gwaai and Dete along one of the longest stretches of straight railway line in the world, 114 km along the eastern edge of Hwange National Park – keep an eye out for wildlife! In the afternoon, disembark at Kennedy Siding and enjoy a game drive at The Hide.
