The Blue Train, (South Africa) — 

For South Africa luxury train tours, discover Africa’s legendary Blue Train, which steam-rolled into being in the 1920s.  A carriage-by-carriage refurbishment in the 70s and conversion from steam to electricity and diesel in the 90s, made this train an icon of luxurious modern travel, while keeping the romance and history of its glittered past.

Rail journeys between Pretoria and Cape Town delight travelers with some of the most spectacular scenery in Africa.  The train stops for excursions in Kimberley, a old diamond rush town, and Matjiesfontein, where Victorian buildings provide an oasis suspended in a different age.  A new route to Kruger National Park area will be added to the 2016 schedule.

Elegant luxury suites offer double beds, bathtubs, big screen blue ray DVD for viewing movies.  From the gourmet meals in its beautiful dining car, to its opulent lounges and boutiques, The Blue Train lives up to its five-star reputation in every sense.
