The horse drawn carriage may seem like the ultimately romantic vehicle to many people. In reality there was little room for romance in those carriages. Horses get tired after short intervals and everyone had to get out and move about and change positions.
There is also an observation car with wide windows from where an excellent view of the passing landscapes can be enjoyed. The Karroo is like a vast sea bottom that has been drained of all water and exposed to the sun. It is arid semi-desert but marvellously rich in animals and dramatic landscapes.
Luxury trains of the Rovos Rail company set out from their headquarters in Capital Park, Pretoria. They travel to various destinations in Africa allowing passengers to savour the anticipation of seeing a destination as the restored antique carriages draw near. Destinations may be from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam.
Luxury train travel gives space and time for romance. The hands and feet are free and passengers have no need to worry about direction. Instead they may stretch out in spacious carriages

Quite recently there was romance in air travel. Passengers were treated as important people, ushered into soft seats and fed delicacies and drinks by beautiful girls. Air terrorism and mass tourism has put an end to that. Passengers are now treated as potential criminals

Luxury Train travel is not like the daily commute squashed into a rocking carriage with strangers. Instead it is an elegant, rhythmical journey that recaptures the currents of the past in the present.
The romance of luxury train travel will become more intense as the engine winds through the neatly manicured wine lands that surround Cape Town and its world famous Table Mountain. Now couples will anticipate the pleasures of a cosmopolitan city with world class facilities and entertainments.
Travel by car can be an intense rather than romantic experience. Two people are enclosed in a box moving at speed though a forest of hazards. Traffic cops, surveillance cameras and dangerous drivers are all around and tensions within the box can rise, especially if a navigator and driver come to verbal and mental blows.
Leaving Pretoria a Rovos train may head for Cape Town. This is only one of any destinations, including Cairo and Maputo. Crossing the Great Karroo passengers may sit at a bar or restaurant enjoying fine wine, dining and conversation while the countryside flits by beyond the window.
