Might seem burdensome question, but on the Rovos Rail.. can women "get away" with nice black pants and dressy top in the dining cars? I am So trying to keep packing to a dull roar, and "cocktail dresses" adds a lot of everything... TYIA, Caren

Hi there, how strict is the dress code for dinner. It specifies ties are mandatory for men, is that true?
A:
Most people dress up and it certainly enhances the whole atmosphere . Ties were not mandatory on my trip this year but over 90% of men were wearing them

Our tour operator gave us about 10% back of the total cost of our 2 week journey, 4 nights being with Rovos Rail. I do not know if the compensation came from Rovos Rail or from our tour operator. I know that Rovos said they would pay for the bus back to Victoria Falls (the one that broke down and they had to get another), and our hotel room in Victoria Falls--the least they could do. No individuals should be booking this train and neither should tour operators. I just received a brochure that advertises a trip next year with 3 nights on Rovos Rail!
