A train journey is one of the most pleasurable, relaxing and evocative ways of crossing Southern Africa. Several luxury rail services provide quite different ways of enjoying your African experience of a lifetime.

The Blue Train – the main route runs a 27-hour journey between Pretoria, the country’s administrative capital, and Cape Town, South Africa’s cosmopolitan mother city and seat of the nation’s Parliament.

Rovos Rail – offers a series of journeys linking some of Africa's greatest destinations - from Cape Town at the tip of Africa, to Dar-Es-Salaam in Tanzania; from the game reserves of the Lowveld, to Victoria Falls, and to the Garden Route along the Cape South Coast.

Please note that these trains do have limited schedules and routes, so careful planning is needed in order to incorporate them into your tailor-made South African holiday.
