Cape Town - Pretoria

Come join us on an lavish overnight trip between Pretoria and Cape Town aboard the legendary Blue Train. Its very name has become synonymous with the ultimate in luxury and personal service.

 

The routes of The Blue Train take guests through some of the most breathtaking countryside to be found anywhere in the world.

Itinerary

The route between Pretoria and Cape Town is a 27-hour journey of 1 600 kilometres (994 miles), through some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery offered by the African sub-continent.

 

On the Southbound trip, the train departs from Pretoria main train sation at 8:30 am and arrives Cape Town train station at 12:00 the following day.

 

En route to Cape Town there is a stopover and excursion in Kimberley, where we take a step back in time to the days of the diamond rush.

 

On the Northbound journey, the train leaves Cape Town at 8:30 am and arrives in Pretoria at 12:30 pm, in time for high tea the following day. It stops at Matjiesfontein for an off-the-train excursion. On arrival at Matjiesfontein guests are invited for a glass of sherry at the bar.

 

The Victorian buildings and original nineteenth century London lampposts impart to the traveller, the uncanny sense of entering a colonial time warp – an oasis suspended in a different age. Guests are reminded that they must be at the station an hour before the departure time.
