At first when the planning committee said there were two days on a train I was not crazy about the idea. However, I have talked to so many who had done this on my trips to South Africa. Everyone LOVED the experience. I think that this is going to be really special and I do think all the men need to wear jackets and ties. They are VERY serious about that as they are trying to create that old Victorian atmosphere when dining without a jacket would be considered unthinkable.

I met with the woman who was the first employee for Rovos Rail and she said the jacket can be unstructured and light but a jacket and tie is needed.
