I must have had my blinders on. I had forgotten that we were late getting into Pretoria, all I knew is that I was with a group, and we had someone to meet us when we got there, and we were in a lounge at the train station for awhile. Yes, the train does roll a bit, but same tracks as the Blue Train. I thought RR gave us time to get acquainted (though we had been in Cape Town for a few days) and gave a good start to a wonderful safari. However, one day would have been enough. Looking back, I would only do it to say been there, done that. That's why we chose not to for ROAR II.
