Cape Town / Pretoria via the Blue Train

The Cape Town to Pretoria (or Pretoria to Cape Town) journey on the Blue Train offers guests a compelling and unforgettable combination of luxury train travel, world-class service, and fine dining, all set against a magnificent ever-changing backdrop of the beautiful South African countryside.

From Cape Town, you pass through the wine lands of the fertile Hex River valley, in the shadow of imposing mountains, up and inland to the endless sweeping landscapes of the Karoo. Here, between high-road and rail-road, is the tiny hamlet of Matjiesfontein. Guests are invited for a short ride back in time, on a historical London double decker bus.

Board the Blue Train once more for the journey northward into the interior.

Before you drift to sleep, glance through the window at a sky filled with a trillion stars.

And when you awake, you will be approaching the mining centres on the Gold Reef, and will soon end your journey in the jacaranda city - Pretoria.

The individually controlled air-conditioned Luxury and Deluxe suites all offer the choice of twin or double bed sleeping arrangements, made up every night by your onboard butler with the finest bed linen.

Private en-suite marble tiled bathrooms offer showers or deep baths for luxuriant soaking.

In addition, the Luxury suites include a private digital entertainment centre and an inviting selection of music CDs and big-screen movies on DVD.
