Blue Train Rail Journey

Southern Africa has always attracted adventurous and romantic souls – discerning travellers who crossed the land in as much comfort as possible. But it was not until 1923, when the first deluxe train was introduced  between Johannesburg and Cape Town, that truly luxurious train travel became a reality. The train, with its distinctive sapphire-blue carriages, was known as the 'Union Limited'. However, people soon began referring to them as 'those Blue Trains’ and so ... a legend was born.

Pretoria to Cape Town

A 27-hour, 1600km journey through some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery. Excursions off-train depend on the direction of travel. Enjoy a tour of the Kimberley Diamond Museum and Big Hole on the Pretoria to Cape Town route, while a stop will be made in the historic Victorian village of Matjiesfontein on the Cape Town to Pretoria route.

Includes: Accommodation on board the train, all table d’hote meals and room service, all alcoholic beverages, sightseeing excursions and entrance fees

Prices from: £575
