Luxury Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria with Kruger National Park

13-day South Africa trip with the Blue Train and Kruger National Park

Illustration of Luxury Blue Train from Cape Town to Pretoria with Kruger National Park

Railbookers' Luxury Blue Train package is a 13-day, 12-night independent rail and land trip through South Africa, starting in Cape Town and finishing in Johannesburg. The trip begins with four nights in Cape Town, described as time to explore the city's landmarks and landscapes, before travelers board the Blue Train for a two-night journey through the country's countryside toward Pretoria, an experience Railbookers describes as being treated like royalty. From there, the trip continues to Kruger National Park, a well known destination for wildlife safaris, before ending in Johannesburg. Because it is sold as an independent package, there is no escort managing the group; Railbookers arranges the train, accommodation, and transfers, and travelers move through each stage on their own. Prices start from $8,999 USD.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package; the description confirms four nights in Cape Town and a two-night Blue Train journey, but does not detail how the remaining nights split between Kruger National Park and Johannesburg.
  • Only two of the trip's twelve nights are aboard the Blue Train itself; the rest of the package covers Cape Town, Kruger National Park, and Johannesburg by other means of transport.
