Trains

If “getting there in style” is part of your travel mantra then you will love the options presented by The South African Railways in the form of the Blue Train and the extraordinary passion and attention to detail that has gone into Rovos Rail as it captures the magical essence of what a luxury rail journey was but refreshed and refined it to suit the modern traveler. The main journeys cover the route from Cape Town to Johannesburg/Pretoria and vice versa but there are terrific alternative routes operating less frequently to Victoria Falls and other destinations. The routes are spectacular – traveling through the wine country, the Hex River Valley, the Little Karroo and up the escarpment onto the Highveld plains. The service and ambience is relaxed but of the highest caliber and both these options rank as some of the finest rail journeys in the world. Travel time is approximately 2 days.
