Keeping Rovos on Track: The Team, The Community & Creative Solutions
Description
How does a luxury train company give back to the communities it travels through? In this engaging follow-up conversation, André reconnects with Tiffany Vos-Thane, and we dive into Rovos Rail’s sustainability efforts—from using bamboo products and locally made amenities to cutting water use by 90% with custom-built vacuum toilets (yes, it’s fascinating!).
We also explore Rovos Rail’s ambitious journeys across 10 African countries, including pioneering trips into Angola and the challenges of navigating visas, corruption, and unpredictable rail lines.
If you love travel, adventure, and brilliant problem-solving, this episode is for you!
