Speeding through the South African countryside, The Blue Train is an icon of the rails. Resplendent in its gleaming livery of blue and gilded motifs, it cuts a dramatic shape as it slices through the scenery of the Cape and the Karoo, travelling between the magnificent city of Cape Town to the jacaranda city of Pretoria. The 27-hour service has, in the past, been frequented by kings and presidents, and remains one of the most luxurious experiences on the rails with attentive butler service for each guest. Every moment is crafted to ‘wow’, from high tea served in the Lounge Car to running a bath in your private en suite.
While on board, relax in the upscale surroundings of polished wood, leather seating, crisp table linen and gently clinking crystal. There’s no better way to explore South Africa’s wild scenery than on board this impressive train.
