View the Blue Train Pretoria to Cape Town Journey.

A Luxury Rail Ride to the Coast

The Blue Train Pretoria to Cape Town Journey is a fantastic meandering luxury train trip through the South African heartland to the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, famous for her white beaches, attractions and activities, Cape Winelands and shopping meccas.

From the capital city of Pretoria, lay back and indulge in the modern elegance of the Blue Train. Travelling across South Africa in style, the Pretoria to Cape Town Train Journey is one typified by extraordinary scenery, five-star service and a little history and culture thrown in for good measure.

Visit the Diamond City

Disembark in Kimberley and explore this once frenzied prospector town. The discovery of diamonds in 1869 (in the walls of a farm house no less) unleashed the great diamond rush to the Northern Cape.

A century later, as you walk around this quiet diamond town, visit the sight of the world's biggest man-made hole; The Big Hole - one mile in circumference and 1 200 feet deep - is a standing testament to the spirit of obsession and exploration that filled the late 1800s.

After capturing this spectacular sight, re-embark and continue on your Pretoria to Cape Town Train Journey by meandering through the Little Karoo - home to ostrich farms, the Cango Caves and charming small country towns.

Approach South Africa's favourite holiday city, Cape Town, where you'll leave your luxury train suite behind and prepare yourself for the sights and attractions of this internationally sought-after destination.

Combine this luxury rail journey with one of Cape Town's exciting tours for a fantastic South African adventure holiday.
