Besides the celebration of a by-gone era on the train and the enjoyment of great experiences in the African bushveld, the team had the privilege of introducing to guests the magnificence that is the Ferrari Portofino.
Rovos Rail, also known as The Pride of Africa, is a classic, five-star on-track hotel that was founded by Mr Rohan Vos in 1989. It operates on various routes throughout Africa including to Cape Town, Namibia and Tanzania. The train boasts luxurious Victorian-style cabins all with en-suite bathrooms and mini-bars. Guests were treated to a culinary dinner experience, complemented by a selection of South African wines, served in the elegant dining carts; drinks served in the lounge carts and fresh air beneath the African stars at the Observation car — all offering the silver star service and experience that Ferrari and Rovos Rail is known for.
Guests were to board the train which made its way to Naboomspruit (Mookgophong) Station, then were transferred to Legends Golf & Safari Resort, where they were entertained with an array of unique Ferrari lifestyle experiences.
These included the beauty of the Portofino with the car’s impeccable pace where guests got to take the Portofino on a much needed test drive to experience what a truly stunning and impressive vehicle was before them.Thereafter a helicopter flip up to the Extreme 19th Hole which got guests quite elated, a Big 5 Game Drive to truly experience the beauty that surrounded them and an exquisite Couple’s Spa Session.
After a day filled with exciting activities guests were then transferred back to the Rovos Rail to prepare for the final Black Tie dinner, before the train returned to Capital Park Station the following morning.
A truly exquisite and exhilarating event.
