Great African Train Journeys

The Blue Train


This famous train is unique, combining the luxury of the world’s leading hotels with the charm of train travel. Enjoy this inclusive luxury rail cruise with an opportunity to view South Africa's spectacular landscapes and visit interesting tourist attractions along the way.


The Blue Train travels on four return routes:

Pretoria - Cape Town (1 day and 1 night);
Pretoria - Victoria Falls (2 days and 2 nights);
Pretoria – Hoedspruit (North) (1 night)
Cape Town - Port Elizabeth (1 day and 2 nights).
* Johannesburg guests, board in Pretoria after a 40 minute mini bus shuttle between the two cities.


Board the Blue Train in the jacaranda city of Pretoria and travel south through farmlands and along the 'golden arc' of Johannesburg, revealed only by the mining shafts in the distance. The afternoon passes as you cross svannah plains and farm land eventually arriving in Kimberly - once the epicenter of a worldwide diamond rush and then continue southwards through the moody and desolate but beautiful great Karoo desert.

Awaken to the sight of vineyards and orchards as you descend through mysterious and beautiful valleys and mountains, such as Drakenstein, Slanghoek and Elandskloof - towards Cape Town's imposing and instantly recognisable Table Mountain.

Heading north, follow in the footsteps of explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, as you journey deep into the African continent in quest of the greatest curtain of falling water on earth - the Victoria Falls. Stopover on an excursion at Hwange National Park, home to more than a 100 species of mammals and one of Africa's last great elephant sanctuaries.

From Cape Town you also have the option of departing to the world's famous Cango Caves where a one hour tour of this spectacular underground world will be taken.
