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

13-day Pretoria to Cape Town rail trip with Kruger safari

Railbookers sells Luxury Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town with Kruger National Park as an independent rail package, meaning travellers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 13 days and 12 nights, starting with two nights in Johannesburg. From there the journey continues to a three-night stay in Kruger National Park, described as an opportunity to experience the Big Five and African wildlife. The trip then continues aboard the Blue Train, described in the evidence as an unparalleled luxury experience, before ending in Cape Town. 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 to combine a South African safari with a Blue Train journey.
