Description

Ever wondered how a family with zero tourism experience created the most luxurious train journey in Africa? In this first of 2 episodes, we chat with Tiffany Vos-Thane, daughter of Rovos Rail founder Rohan Vos, about how her parents turned their love for trains into a world-famous experience.

Tiffany shares behind-the-scenes stories, from the early struggles to setting new standards in train travel — such as private en-suite bathrooms before anyone else had them. Plus, hear how Rovos empower their staff to ensure that their guests have the most wonderful journeys. And how they create world-class meals from a surprisingly tiny kitchen.

This is history, luxury, and a whole lot of passion—on wheels!
