The Blue Train is a more modern offering in comparison to Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa (link) and travels between Pretoria and Cape Town on selected dates throughout the year. The train also travels one a year to South Africa’s Limpopo Province, where one of the world’s finest game reserves can be found - Kruger National Park, home to Africa’s Big Five.
Both Pretoria and Cape Town stations have dedicated pre-departure lounges, where you can sip a glass of champagne or a coffee and contemplate the exciting journey ahead of you!

All have access to 24-hour steward service and feature a selection of mod-cons such as DVD players and air-conditioning. The cabins and public areas feature large panoramic windows to provide the perfect view of the passing scenery.
