Getting around by train Capetown

The Blue Train is one of the most luxurious machines in the world. It makes the round trip between Pretoria and Cape Town eight times a month. The journey takes 28 hours and covers 1,600 km, with a stopover in Kimberley and a visit to the Open Mine Museum in one direction and the town of Matjiesfontein in the other. Another destination is Kruger and Limpopo for a "rail safari" through the country's magnificent national parks. A unique and sumptuous journey through spectacular South African landscapes at a pleasant cruising speed.
