Day 05 & 06: Transfer to Cape Town Station in time for Rovos Rail. For many visitors to
South Africa, there's no finer way to see the country than on the popular weekly journeys between Cape Town and Pretoria (or vice versa). From the coast, the 1600 kilometre route follows an old pioneering trail carved out of the African bushveld, passing through the
Winelands and climbing up to the interior through the Hex River Valley.
Highlights of the north and southbound routes include visits to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, a 100-year old refreshment stop in the arid Karoo, and Kimberley (city of De Beers), the diamond boom-town that's home to the Big Hole, the world's largest man-made
excavation.
Two overnights onboard Rovos Rail on a fully inclusive basis

Day 07: You will be collected on arrival at Rovos Rail Station and transferred by road to the elegant Illyria House in Pretoria. Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa, with most of the foreign embassies located here. Enjoy the tranquil and elegant Illyria House, set in a secure ambassadorial area. .Formerly open to royalty and dignitaries only, standards at Illyria soar high. The house itself is a treasure-trove of fine art, seventeenth century tapestries and antiques from around the World. Each of its six en-suite double bedrooms is lavishly appointed with crystal chandeliers, heavy silk bedcovers and sumptuous furnishings. With only six rooms, exceptional personalised service and attention to detail is assured. When at Illyria House we recommend that you dine in - as absolutely anything you desire will be procured locally and skilfully prepared by Illyria's master chef. You may choose to dine in the baroque dining room or bathed in candlelight on your private veranda. Other culinary pleasures include breakfast or luncheon on the marble patio overlooking the garden, or fresh coffee served in fine bone china accompanied by glorious cakes taken in the fountain courtyard. The recently opened Aquarius Wellness Spa has a fulltime beautician on the premises. Relax with the various personalised treatments available.

International Airport to board your scheduled charter flight to Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu- Natal’s Maputaland region for a unique safari experience.
