Train is definitely something I would recommend (I liked that we did the Pretoria-Vic Falls way (as opposed to the other way around) since it gave us a sense of “destination”.
Enjoy a glass of champagne before The Pride of Africa departs from Rovos Rail’s private Capital Park Station in Pretoria. Enjoy a delicious lunch in the dining car with a view of the passing landscape as the train heads north to Zeerust. Dine on a sumptuous dinner as the train passes through the Magaliesburg Range on its way to Mahikeng.
