Luxury Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town

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

Railbookers sells Luxury Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town 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 in Johannesburg, described as the City of Gold. From there the journey continues aboard the Blue Train, described as one of the world's most exclusive trains, with culinary offerings served in elegant dining cars as the route heads south through the countryside. The trip concludes in Cape Town with private tours of the city and surrounding region. Railbookers does not publish a full day-by-day itinerary for this package, so exact hotels, how many nights are spent aboard the train, and connections are confirmed at booking. It suits independent travellers who want a South African rail trip built around the Blue Train, without joining a guided group.
