BlueTrain: Cape Town to Pretoria

View the BlueTrain Cape Town to Pretoria Journey.

A Cross-Country Rail Adventure

The BlueTrain's Cape Town to Pretoria Route offers an overnight luxury rail adventure through the heart of South Africa.

From the cosmopolitan 'Mother City' - Cape Town, travel north through the haunting landscapes of the Great Karoo Desert - an achingly beautiful land of stillness, endless hotizons and arid terrain, and whose silence is broken only by thunderstorms and the whispers of small town life - and finally on to the golden fields of the highveld, circumventing Johannesburg - Africa's economic powerhouse known as the 'City of Gold'.

The luxury rail route ends in Pretoria - South Africa's administrative capital; from here city breaks, luxury safari holidays and international flights are just a transfer away.

The Cape Town to Pretoria rail journey makes for a luxurious and scenic adventure between two major South African cities.

Off the Train at Matjiesfontein

On the Blue Train Cape Town to Pretoria Journey there is an off-train excursion at Matjiesfontein - a South African National Monument. Set in the mystical beauty of the Great Karoo, the Victorian town of Matjiesfontein offers a nostalgic dip into a more elegant time.

Explore the town from atop an apple-red double-decker bus, enjoy a traditional English high-tea at the elegant Lord Milner Hotel with its sweeping red-carpeted staircase and classic dining lounge, or visit the antique car museum before re-embarking on your Blue Train adventure.
