South Africa's Palace on Wheels

Winding along a well-travelled path between Pretoria and Cape Town, the Blue Train, also known as the 'Palace on Wheels' is a luxury train operating in South Africa.

With a pedigree and history reaching back to the leisure and opulence of 1920s luxury holidays, the Blue Train is a highly modernised luxury train with a set of traditional travel values as solid as the rails it rides along.

Easily identified by the deep blue coat of paint on its stately carriages, the Blue Train meanders across the South African landscape, whisper-quiet at 60mph.

The Blue Train merges the latest in technology with the traditional themes of elegance and romance associated with luxury African train holidays.

Timeless Luxury

South Africa's Blue Train has a luxury train lifespan that has embraced the switch from steam power to the efficiency of electric and diesel energy, has explored the path from bushveld to sea, and has embraced the ideals of tradition and progress.

The Blue Train's pedigree and upstanding reputation has meant that it has retained its sense of style and sophistication from its earlier years, with a modern and elegant outlook, and always with the same clear-cut objective: to deliver passengers across the South African landscape in the most luxurious means possible.

For a modern luxury holiday on a classical train, step aboard South Africa's Blue Train - the experience is undoubtedly the finest in luxury Africa train travel.
