Luxury Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria

9-day Cape Town to Pretoria rail trip via the Blue Train

Railbookers sells Luxury Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria as an independent rail package, meaning travellers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 9 days and 8 nights, starting with four nights in Cape Town, where the description mentions a day of wine tasting in Franschhoek. From there the journey continues onto the Blue Train itself for a three-night, five-star stay, described as the pinnacle of luxury, before arriving in the Pretoria and Johannesburg area. Railbookers does not publish a full day-by-day itinerary for this package, so exact hotels and how the remaining night is spent are confirmed at booking. It suits independent travellers who want a South African rail trip built around a multi-night stay aboard one of the world's best known luxury trains, combined with time to explore Cape Town.
