Both offer world-class luxury train travel in South Africa and beyond, with all of the comfort and modern facilities you could need. It’s a unique way to travel and view the beautiful Southern African countryside.

Rovos Rail has 36 air-conditioned suites with en-suite bathrooms. The Deluxe Suites are slightly bigger than the Pullman Suites. The Royal Suites are the most luxurious and take up half a carriage. The Edwardian style, wood panelled coaches are hauled by steam, diesel or electric locomotives at various stages of the journey. Enjoy fine cuisine and elegant luxury as some of the most varied scenery imaginable unfolds in front of you in your suite or the Observation Car.

Rovos Rail links some of Africa's greatest destinations from Cape Town to Dar Es Salaaam. From the game reserves of the Kruger National Park to Victoria Falls, and from the deserts in Namibia to the sugar cane plantations of Kwa-Zulu Natal or even along the Cape south coast.

The Blue Train in South Africa has been synonymous with luxury train travel since 1946; transporting guests including Kings and Presidents along rail routes between Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. Each Blue Train suite has its own bathroom with either a shower or bath. There are two luxury coaches; each one has three suites with bathrooms and bathtubs. The other nine De Luxe coaches have four suites per coach. The entire train is air-conditioned. Many modern conveniences serve to make the journey all the more memorable.

The most famous Blue Train journey is between Pretoria and Cape Town.
