..................................................
The Blue Train, voted Africa’s leading luxury train, has an aura of mystique about it. Kings and presidents, celebrities and honeymooners have all travelled on this magnificent rolling five star hotel, and the name has become synonymous with the ultimate in luxury train travel. Experience a world of grace, elegance and romance from a bygone era in the magnificent suites, elegant lounges and fine dining. Each suite comes with the finest bed linen, and en-suite marble tiled bathrooms, and your very own personal butler is on hand to attend to every need.

The perfect alternative to flying to or from Cape Town, The Blue Train transports you between Pretoria and Cape Town in both directions, on a 39-hour journey of 1,600 kms, travelling through some of South Africa’s most diverse and spectacular scenery.

The suites extend the choice of radio and movie channels even further by including a private digital entertainment centre and an inviting selection of music CDs and big-screen movies on DVD.
