Treinreis Pretoria-Kaapstad met de Blue Train
Ga met de Blue train terug in de tijd. Een treinreis zoals de koningen en staatshoofden van weleer aan boord van deze luxueuze, indrukwekkende stoomtrein. En bedenk dat stoomtreinen in de 19de eeuw de Kaap met Caïro moesten verbinden… De Blue Train rijdt sinds 1923, in 1998 is ze zelfs onderscheiden als ’World’s Leading Luxury Train’. Een onvergetelijke belevenis.
Met de klassieke route leidt de Blue Train je door, langs en over het spectaculaire landschap tussen Kaapstad en Pretoria. Een dag en een nacht lang kun je vanuit je luxueuze rijtuig door het raam turen, terwijl de trein verder rijdt. Over een afstand van 1600 kilometer doorkruis je wilde natuur, half-woestijn en wijnvelden.
