Rovos Rail Train Prices 2028
Rovos Rail 2028 rates are likely to be in a range from 9% to 22% higher than the 2027 rates, if similar increases are put in place as for 2027 rates over 2026 rates. Obviously anything can happen, but that's SA Travel Online's estimate. We are hoping that the (current) strong Rand will play a role in keeping ZAR rates under control.. 2028 Rates and dates will be released in April 2026. WhatsApp Rovos Rob or email him to make a provisional reservation.
