ROVOS RAIL - LOUNGE CARS

Observation Car Lounge
"Recapture the romance and atmosphere of a bygone era in a relaxed and elegant fashion."The Rovos Rail Train has three lounge areas and a dining area. The lounges consist of a non-smoking lounge car (which accommodates 26 guests), and a non-smoking 42-seat dining car. If the number of guests on the train exceeds 42, then both dining cars are used, as this allows the entire complement of guests to eat all meals at the same time. Then there is the smoking lounge, with the Observation Car (which accommodates 32 guests) at the tail.

LOUNGE CAR
Rovos Rail Lounge Car
Old Coaches were stripped and refurbished to create comfortable non-smoking lounge cars, which are placed in the middle of the trains (and are usually ahead of the dining cars). Deep sofas and wingback chairs make for an extremely comfortable Lounge. The lounge cars also house a small, discreet gift shop. As with all the service cars the lounges are air-conditioned, but the windows can be opened in order to take in the sights, sounds and scents of Africa. 
OBSERVATION CAR
Rovos Rail Observation Car
As with the rest of the rolling stock, the Observation Cars have an interesting history. They were originally A-28 dining cars built to drawings by Mr W Day. Rovos Rail then gained permission from South African Railways to run the Observation Cars at the back of the trains, which allowed for both the enlargement of the windows and the construction of the unique open-air balconies.The Observation Car has proved to be a great success. 
CLUB CAR
Rovos Rail Club Car
The Club Car area was brought about by demolishing the end suite in one of the deluxe carriages. This was done in order to host the smokers on the train in a public area; and also as an overflow facility to the adjoining Observation Car. As the Club Car has a glass passage wall, guests can comfortably watch the scenery on both sides of the train.
